Animatronics is the use of robots to imitate humans or animals, or to make an inanimate object look like it has the properties of a living thing. The results of animatronic creations are called animatronics, which include animals (such as dinosaurs), plants, and mythological creatures. Specifically, animatronics that are designed to imitate humans are called androids. Modern animatronics is mainly applied as special effects in movies and on rides in amusement parks.
