#2The stunts in the video all seem like they could be done by a human, I was expecting something more like a light weight humanoid bot with some quadrocopter type propellers that allowed it to actually fly and float through the air. For instance, you could have Ironman flying high over the park and make it look convincing, especially with properly placed speakers.

#3Funny, was recently at Disneyworld and impressed by the live-action Cinderella during the nightly fireworks/lights show. Was she a robot?

Do you mean Tinkerbell at WDW by chance? That's a real person, unless it's been changed in the past year. Zoom in on a quality video of her "flight" and it's pretty easy to see it's a real person (and surprisingly less impressive when you can see her more clearly--the lighting and costume looks weird).

It might not look right if a stiff breeze blew Iron Man out of the park

Couldn’t the same thing happen to one of these bots? Blown off their trajectory

#8Does this mean that robots like this will be cheaper to produce than CGI?

#9I think this is going to end up being one of the coolest additions to the parks in recent years. If you haven't seen, they're applying this at Disneyland in the Avengers Campus area to have a "live action" Spiderman flying overhead: https://www.disneytouristblog.com/stuntronics-spider-man-ave...
