Since dinosaurs went extinct 65 million years ago, we never got to see them as living and breathing animals. We can only see their skeletons in museums or we can watch movies on them such as Jurassic Park. But, these things can never match the experience of seeing the real creature. And since it is very unlikely to see a living dinosaur ever again, we can still enjoy the feel of a real dinosaur via robotic dinosaurs that roar, coos, and even respond to your commands. If you’re looking for a robotic dinosaur, then you can check the animatronic dinosaur for sale, so you can save a lot of money before it goes back to its original price.
Robotic Dinosaurs are made up of Silica Gel
Since Sponge Silica Gel is characterized by its softness and elasticity, it can provide a realistic feel. The motor is then installed inside the model after which the transmission structure is used to create a robotic dinosaur that can act like a real one.
How Robotic Dinosaurs are Made?
Steel materials such as the square tube of the channel are used in the starting and then the steel skeleton is cut according to the design of the dinosaur model.
Depending on the action of the robotic dinosaur model, the welding is done. The movable parts of the robotic dinosaur model are welded into the movable joint and the fixed joints are directly welded into the fixed structure.
Now that the welding is done as per the robotic dinosaur model, a motor and a transmission structure are then installed inside the model.
In the dinosaur models that use motors, a DC brush motor or a stepper motor can be used whereas in a pneumatic simulation dinosaur can only use a cylinder. But, remember the cylinder is costly and hence the robotic dinosaur model will be costly too.
Last but not least, a sponge is used as the base to mold the corresponding dinosaur model based on the shape of the dinosaur as designed. Once the waterproof sealing is done, the skin fiber can be colored using oily acrylic paint.
You can also use FRP material to build the robotic dinosaur but the surface will be hard.
Mattel’s New Alpha Training Blue Robot
Mattel’s new alpha training blue robot is one of the best robotic dinosaurs available in its price range. The blue robot is constructed with seven hobby-grade motors that can affect her mood. It runs on a lithium-Ion battery that runs for about 35 minutes on a single charge.
When feeling hostile, blue can growl while she can purr when happy. You can train her by using the clicker button on the back of the controller. You can teach her simple movements and reactions.
It all starts with basic commands such as looking up and down, turning left and right and then it can go up to seven levels.
It comes with a manual that contains a full list of commands and diagrams that can help you train the robot. In case Blue didn’t understand what you want her to do, you will see a red flashlight on the controller while it will flash green when she gets what you are trying to teach her.
In the end, you will teach blue how to attack and spin around in the circle. In the attack mode, blue will leap forward and growl.
Unlike Blue robot which is just one-feet tall, you can spot huge robotic dinosaurs in some large scenic spots and parks making a horrible cry and making a lively movement.
Robotic dinosaur models such as DWD105 Pterosaur and DWD106 Amargasaurus are yet other models that are 4m and 10m in length respectively.
Amargasaurus weighs around 900kg and has 6 movements while Pterosaur weighs around 45kg and has only 2 movements.
Conclusion
Robotic dinosaurs can give the feel of a real dinosaur, though it runs on a battery and is not even close to real. But, if you fantasize about watching dinosaurs in action, then it is perfect for you. The robotic dinosaurs consist of motors, a transmission structure and steel materials that are welded depending on the type and movement of the dinosaur.
