Problems solved by technology

However, the various mechanical devices that actuate these interactive parts may often appear to move in a linear, more mechanical, or pre-programmed nature, giving the user the impression that they are interacting with a robot, quite different from more realistic objects
Additionally, traditional interactive components are often limited in terms of touching or interacting with themselves or other objects due to the mechanical forces that can arise from such interactions, such as from collisions

Embodiment Construction

[0017] One or more specific embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below. In an attempt to provide a concise description of these embodiments, all features of an actual implementation may not be described in the specification. It should be appreciated that in the development of any such actual implementation, as in any engineering or design project, numerous implementation-specific decisions must be made to achieve the developer's specific goals, such as compliance with system-related and business-related constraints, which may vary from one implementation to another. Furthermore, it should be appreciated that such a development effort might be complex and time consuming, but would nonetheless be a routine undertaking of design, fabrication, and manufacture for those of ordinary skill having the benefit of this disclosure.

[0018] With the foregoing in mind, pneumatic robotics can be employed to create mechanical devices that move in a more fluid and realist...

Abstract

An amusement park attraction includes an attraction feature. The attraction feature includes a fluid actuator having an inflatable mass, the inflatable mass being fluidly connected to a source of pressurized fluid to enable inflation of the inflatable mass. Fluid control devices are configured to adjust inflation of the inflatable mass, and sensors are configured to monitor state properties of thefluid actuator. A controller is communicatively coupled to the fluid control devices and the sensors. The controller is configured to controllably inflate the inflatable mass based at least on feedback from the sensors to cause the fluid actuator to impact an object. The controller is configured to control the inflation of the inflatable mass to adjust parameters of the fluid actuator to maintaina force exerted by the fluid actuator on the object to within a predetermined range.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority and claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 476,756, filed March 25, 2017, entitled "Soft Robot System and Method for Interacting with a Human", which was adopted by References are incorporated herein in their entirety for all purposes. Background technique [0003] The subject matter disclosed herein relates generally to the field of playgrounds. More specifically, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods used to provide interactive equipment for a playground experience. [0004] Various rides and exhibits have been created to provide users with a unique interactive motion and visual experience. Among the various mounts and displays, the user experience may be enhanced by employing certain interactive components within the mounts and displays. However, the various mechanical devices that actuate these interactive parts may often appe...
