flag Disney unveils AI-powered, walking animatronic Olaf at Disneyland Paris, debuting March 29, 2026, with plans for Hong Kong Disneyland later that year.

flag Disney has unveiled a lifelike, walking animatronic Olaf at Disneyland Paris, set to debut March 29, 2026, as part of the new World of Frozen land. flag Using AI-powered reinforcement learning and physics simulations, the 35-pound robot mimics the character’s movements and expressions with remarkable realism, trained through millions of virtual trials. flag Voiced by Josh Gad and featuring 25 actuators, the robot walks naturally, makes eye contact, and interacts with guests, though it is remotely operated. flag The technology, developed by Walt Disney Imagineering and powered by tools like the Newton Physics Engine, enables fluid motion and continuous refinement. flag The same animatronic is expected to launch later in 2026 at Hong Kong Disneyland, marking a major leap in immersive storytelling and robotic character design.
