Building a real-life Baymax | Gizmag
“The recent animated feature Big Hero 6 is more than a collection of comic book fantasies – there’s some hard science behind the soft robots. Baymax, the inflatable robot designed to care for humans who stars in the film may seem as unlikely as a chocolate teapot, but Chris Atkeson, professor of robotics at Carnegie Mellon is working on a real life version (minus the karate and flying armor).”
