Baymax is a robot in Big Hero Six. He is not your typical metal heavy robot though, instead a big and soft robot. He is basically a balloon and was inspired by a robot arm made through soft robotics at CMU. This shows how close Baymax can actually be real. The only thing holding this back is the fact that we don't have the tech. yet or any full versions of a soft body robot. If one was made though it would probably be used for medical purposes because of the fragile type of environment. But hey maybe in a few decades this will be possible.
This was a pretty good article. I've noticed that the articles this week were all about things in movies becoming a reality. Coincidence? I think not! But its cool because these articles were very interesting, this one especially. I really think this is a cool idea that has a lot of potential for the future and is a lot more convenient then a big hulking piece of metal. I didn't even know this was a thing till today. But this was overall a great article more relevant to the animation side of Digital Media.
Thanks for reading piece!
