This Is A Robot Stunt Double

This is a ROBOT STUNT DOUBLE. These “stuntronics” are how Spiderman launches over Disneyland!

The Imagineers at Disney wanted to create a realistic performance in the park. But in the movies, Spiderman relies on CGI to pull off a lot of his moves. To do it in real life, it would be impossible for humans. But not for a robot!

Here's how they did it...

And my last question was: Will we see robot stunt doubles in movies?

I think this is awesome. For more optimistic science and tech stories, subscribe for our show Huge If True!

Fun fact/sad fact
The Spiderman robot was one of the last projects that Grant Imahara worked on before he passed in 2020

Imagine being a stunt double thinking you're safe from robots taking your job, then seeing this video

10 years later.

“These are robot terminators”

[good-questions]

“We’re open to use them for all sorts of uses”

Military writing up contracts

Glad to see we are making them athletic af before they wake up and take over.

For anyone still thinking Terminators are gonna be like Arnold Schwarzenegger, All Stoic and with a mission, think again and Good luck running from a Spider-Man terminator.

Practical effects could come back? That would be nice.

I am concerned that we are seperately making superhuman robots who can flip through the air, and also supersmart AI. This feels like we are edging closer and closer to iRobot everyday

"uhm, the animatronics do get a little quirky at night"
"and then there was the spiderman fall of 87"

[benten]

Yeah... You know what? When I rewatch Terminator, that's EXACTLY what I think: "If only the Terminator could pull out incredible acrobatics, wouldn't that be better?"

[rotyasder]

Tom cruise will not be happy about thus😂

[Let_me_get_a_name.-_-]

Its awesome to see a real dangerous stunt not cgi

[adig]

You said, you share optimistic tech stories.😮😮😮

[kingofnonation]

Thats good shit. It would be good for movies for dangerous stunts they csnt have a person perfrom safely, protecting human stunt performed

[flyingproofficial]

Lucky they aren't controlled by AI, and I hope in future they don't give the control to AI

[ShadowKng]

Niice. Training the terminators' superhuman movement. Gee, what a great idea!

[dzbly]

Imagine it fell and hit the edge of a building and “fell to its death” in front of hundreds of kids who think the real Spider-Man just died 🤣

Edit: I commented this bc I thought I remembered it and just told myself I was crazy, I KNEW IT

[SteveRoeSroe]

Sky Net is going to be more advanced then the Terminator movies where .

[Elfie]

When the robots attack, we’re cooked. Getting snatched in the street by web slinging AI

[Furrydrake]

I feel like a whole robot would be way more expensive
