Claim 10:
11. A method for operating a multi-sectional show robot, comprising:
generating feedback indicative of an environment surrounding a primary robot of the multi-sectional show robot via one or more sensors of the primary robot, wherein the primary robot comprises a first appearance corresponding to a first character of a theme;
instructing, via one or more controllers, at least the primary robot or a first secondary robot to cause one or more first movements of at least the primary robot or the first secondary robot, wherein the first secondary robot comprises a second appearance corresponding to a second character of the theme, the second appearance differing from the first appearance, and wherein the one or more first movements are based on one or more character control schemes and the feedback, and the feedback indicating a first spatial relationship between the primary robot and the first secondary robot; and
instructing, via the one or more controllers, at least the primary robot or a second secondary robot to cause one or more second movements of at least the primary robot or the second secondary robot, wherein the one or more second movements are based on the one or more character control schemes and the feedback, the feedback indicating a second spatial relationship between the primary robot and the second secondary robot, and wherein the one or more second movements are different than the one or more first movements.
