ABOUT US
For over 35 years, Animatronic Engineering has been at the forefront of creating lifelike robotic creatures that educate, inspire, and captivate audiences worldwide.
Our Story
Founded in 1989, Animatronic Engineering began with a simple vision: to bring prehistoric creatures back to life through the art of robotics and engineering. What started as a small workshop in Australia has grown into a leading provider of animatronic solutions for zoos, museums, and themed attractions across the globe.
Our passion for combining scientific accuracy with cutting-edge technology has resulted in some of the most realistic and engaging animatronic exhibits in the world. Each creature we create is meticulously researched, designed, and crafted to provide an unforgettable educational experience.
Today, we continue to push the boundaries of what's possible in animatronic engineering, working with leading institutions to create exhibitions that inspire wonder and foster a deeper understanding of our planet's incredible history.
