Key Notes
- Hasbro’s Sixth Wall Studio and Dynamic Creatures announced a November 10 partnership to develop mobile character robots for entertainment and hospitality venues.
- CharacterOS will support licensed personalities and stories, while Dynamic Creatures’ SnowJay platform coordinates interaction, expressive movement and robot operating states.
- Memory-enabled encounters will depend on guest choice and venue-specific permissions, with initial applications focused on audiences aged 13 and older and no first installation named.
Hasbro’s Sixth Wall Studio and Dynamic Creatures are partnering to develop interactive character robots for theme parks, resorts and other entertainment venues. The collaboration will combine licensed character behavior with mobile robots that can converse, look toward guests and respond through physical gestures.
The companies announced the partnership on November 10. They describe possible encounters that continue across visits, such as a character introducing an adventure and asking about it later. The release does not name a first venue, a launch date or the characters selected for the initial deployments.
Character Software Meets Physical Expression
Sixth Wall’s CharacterOS platform and Behavioral Licensing framework are intended to preserve a character’s voice, personality and established story. Dynamic Creatures will supply the physical expression, connecting dialogue with movement, gaze and reactions.
For an operator, those layers have to agree about what the robot is doing. A character’s words, its attention and its next movement need to form a coherent encounter. The partnership sets out that division of work, without providing a public performance test of the combined system.
SnowJay Coordinates the Robot’s Behavior
Dynamic Creatures’ SnowJay platform handles real-time behavior execution, transitions between skills, system monitoring and operating states such as stopping and shutdown. The company also describes training physical behaviors from motion capture or animation and aligning sensors, joints and timing during calibration.
Those capabilities sit around the conversational model. SnowJay links perception and interaction with robot movement, facial expression and animatronics, so the machine can deliver a character physically rather than through a screen alone. The platform description is company documentation, not an independent reliability assessment.
Memory Depends on Guest Choice
The partners say memory-enabled experiences would depend on guest choice and clearly defined permissions, with details set separately for each venue and use case. Initial Sixth Wall applications will follow its focus on audiences aged 13 and older.
The announcement leaves the implementation of visitor recognition, retained information and deletion unspecified. Those choices will matter to a continuing story experience: remembering a prior encounter requires a way to connect visits and a clear boundary around what is retained.
A New Partnership Built on Existing Robots
Our Hugo introduction covered Dynamic Creatures’ furry character robot before this agreement. The official video above introduces that existing platform; it does not show a newly announced Hasbro character or a completed deployment under this partnership.
The new agreement extends the business toward authorized entertainment characters. Alongside the Disney robotics projects we previously covered, it illustrates the different roles robots could take at venues, from operational support to guest-facing performances. The next concrete milestone will be a named installation with defined operating conditions.
