迪士尼乐园正计划在其主题乐园中推出如海豚般的机器人，这是一项十年内投资 600 亿美元于乐园与度假区发展计划的一部分。迪士尼幻想工程研发中心目前正在开发多个机器人项目，包括能变身为《海洋奇缘》角色的蝠鲼原型，以及能与游客互动的自主水生表演机器人。

这些水生机器人采用了先进的喷射泵推进与仿生关节技术，并结合 GPS 导航与板载传感器，能够在白天未被充分利用的主题乐园水域中进行自主协同表演。迪士尼强调，这些技术创新并非单纯为了展示科技，而是为了更好地服务于故事叙述，提升游客的沉浸式体验。

除了水生机器人，迪士尼也在探索更多元的形式，例如采用下一代投影技术来呈现更具表现力且逼真的角色面部，以及与电影制片人合作开发《星际大战》主题的无人零售餐车，餐车上的悬浮机器人会根据游客的订单内容进行互动表演。

Disney plans to debut dolphin-like robots at its theme parks as part of a 10-year, $60 billion investment in its parks and resorts. The company's Imagineering R&D division is developing multiple robotic projects, including a manta ray prototype that can transform into a Moana character and a fleet of aquatic robots to interact with guests.

These aquatic robots utilize advanced jet pump propulsion and biomimetic articulation, combining GPS navigation and onboard sensors to perform semi-autonomously in water bodies that are underutilized during the day. Disney emphasizes that these technological innovations are designed to serve storytelling and enhance the immersive experience of visitors.

Beyond aquatic robots, Disney is exploring various form factors, including next-generation animatronic projection technology to display highly expressive character faces, and autonomous Star Wars-themed food carts with hovering droids that perform interactive shows based on the customers' mobile orders.
