What are animatronics?
Animatronics is a field of robotics that specializes in
natural movements in robots. The goal is often to replicate movement of animals
or humans. This has many purposes in the medical field and entertainment
industries. Many examples would be animatronic body parts and the animals often
seen in popular movies (Jaws, Jurassic Park, and Jumanji).
The video shows the use of animatronics in the movie "Jumanji."
What is a stepper motor?
A stepper motor is a small electric motor that split a full
rotation into equal steps. The system itself is a small group of gears that
move at a set pace with one another.
What is Labview?
When referring to the program LabView, I am referring to NI
LabView 2012. This is a computer program that works with coding much differently
than MATLAB, Maple, or Arduino. LabView works by creating blocks and such.
There is less coding and objects can create much simply by the click of a
button instead of coding for such. Here is an example of a LabView block
diagram. This is how most codes look. There are different ways of doing
Booleans, For and While Loops, and other such coding protocols.
