The new idea behind the animatronics in the new Mr. Lincoln is a pretty incredible setup. Based on what the article said, and schematics I've seen, most animatronic robots like this had historically been closer to motorized marionettes that simply were self contained. The fact that this one is based off a more human bone structure rather then built of a generic shell is the really interesting part. I wonder how much of the technology used in these could be, or has been adapted from medical uses.
