Disney Imagineers have developed an advanced Spider-Man stunt robot, now featured at the Avengers Campus.
The robot can fly up to 25 meters in the air and makes its own real-time decisions to tuck, somersault, slow down, and climb. This demonstrates a remarkable breakthrough in how robotics technology is being applied to create gravity-defying feats in the entertainment and theme park industries.
