A still image of the Fred Astaire key frame animation project by 
X. Eddie Qiu, Winter 1995.

This project created a robot model of Fred Astaire, and provided 
a key frame animator to make a danse routine for the robot.  The 
arms and legs had several degrees of freedom, and a top hat stage 
could be turned on and off.  A spot light on the dancer was also 
provided.
