Whoa pretty awesome.
Was gonna say I feel bad for the stunt men/woman having their jobs taken over by robots but pretty sure these were made to make CG movements more realistic in situations stunt people wouldn't be able to accomplish.

Disney has been a pioneer of entertainment robots / animatronics for decades at their Disneyland & Disney world theme parks.
Between you and I , I thinks this is less about stunt doubles and more about creating an animatronic trapeze show as a new draw at their parks. Imagine a robotics Cirque du Soleil.
See from the video below, it's more than a stunt double they're going for :winkwink:
