Star Wars B2EMO appears to be a practical effect rather than CGI. A real B2EMO was featured at the recent premiers of Star Wars Andor and several influencers have posted footage on social media.
As far as I can tell this was built by the same team that built BB-8 which includes Josh Lee and Matt Denton, and you can see the BB-8 internal animatronics reveal from Star Wars Celebration 2016 in the Star Wars YouTube channel.
At first Star Wars B2EMO doesn’t look like anything special - it’s a beaten-up looking salvage Droid. During the Star Wars Andor premier however, the first thing I noticed was that it had Mecanum wheels, which makes it omni-directional. I’ve done a few projects with standard omni wheels in my channel, but never Mecanum wheels. These wheels have little wheels around their circumference which are angled at 45 degrees. Mirrored pairs are usually installed on the robot, and depending on the combination of rotation on each wheel, the robot can move in any direction.
B2 is even more complicated than that though. Each foot can lift up and down independently, and also the whole wheel-base can extend to make it longer and presumably more stable. There are also a number of other features in the body, which can boost itself up to make the Droid taller. There are rotating parts inside the body, and the head can also move independently in multiple axes. And all of this is a real piece of engineering.

XROBOTS
Former toy designer, current YouTube maker and general robotics, electrical and mechanical engineer, I’m a fan of doing it yourself and innovation by trial and error. My channel is where I share some of my useful and not-so-useful inventions, designs and maker advice. Iron Man is my go-to cosplay, and 3D printing can solve most issues - broken bolts, missing parts, world hunger, you name it.
XRobots is the community around my content where you can get in touch, share tips and advice, and more build FAQs, schematics and designs are also available.
