Description
By far the most challenging piece of my ExtraTerrorestrial concept art series as robots ad machinery are very challenging for me. This is S.I.R. (Simulated Intelligence Robotics). He is in the second pre-show of the ExtraTerrorestrial experience and, judging from the clips of the experience, one of the most impressive animatronics I've seen in any theme park. What makes it more impressive is that it existed in 1996. Anyway, S.I.R. is a robot that gives guests a small demonstration of X-S Tech's teleportation technology with the yellow alien Skippy as his "lucky volunteer". You can see the whole pre-show here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttuaRK…

On the left is a recreation of the original design (to the best of my ability) and on the right is a recreation based on the latest real world humanoid robot designs. Though I like the overall frame I'm not entirely sold on the face as the original just has this sinister aesthetic too it that I absolutely love. A composite of the two might more but I'm not sure how to justify unnecessary moving mouth parts for an advance robot when a screen can project any expression imaginable.

ExtraTerrorestrial: Alien Encounter belongs to Disney.

As always comments and critiques are welcome.
