Beachbot is essentially an autonomous robot that was designed at the team at Disney Research in Zurich, Switzerland. The robot is capable of drawing incredible large-scale sand images using a rake mechanism as it moves through the sand.
It was recently shipped to Disney’s Contemporary Resort at Walt Disney World to draw a stunning image of Walt Disney himself. Now if only BeachBot could make appearances at non-Disney properties and beaches, we can imagine it being a very popular attraction with guests.
