Doc Design
Sketches:
First a series of sketches were made to determine the general look of the Doc Beardsley skin.
Maquettes:
The next step was to visual Doc in the 3D so small maquettes were created.
Skin Fabrication:
This process is somewhat of a black art requiring much trial and error. But after several tests and refinements of the molding process a foam laytex skin is produced to conceal the animatronics that help to bring Horatio "Doc" Beardsley to life.
The Interactive Animatronics Initiative (IAI) is a joint initiative between the Field Robotics Center (FRC) and the Entertainment Technology Center (ETC) at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU).
