Multiple computer-controlled winch systems have been used for movie special effects for years. Here's a 2010 system test for a flying taxi, which shows the controller as well as the taxi.[1] Disney's Aladdin at Tuacahn Amphitheater has a magic carpet which flies out over the audience with two performers on it. That's done with four computer-controlled winches. The robot simulator looks like it's using the same winches Kirby's AFX uses for theatrical work. That's not surprising; few companies make high speed precision-controllable winches rated for human safety. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkjM9leyQPc |
