	5.	Beyond 2000: Part II: digitized video clips: Part 1, Part 2 Discovery Channel TV documentary on our robots (1994). See above for details.
	6.	ICRA 2000: Robot Aerobics. Robot Aerobics Video Here's the robot aerobics video from ICRA 2000 (10 MB avi). Each robot has 57 DOF. There are 13 robots. So about 741 DOF. An animation trajectory was authored in STRETCHY TUBES mode (See paper), and then a dozen final trajectories were quickly performed in FOLLOW mode. The motions are obviously closely related but there are variations in timing and degree which give the overall animation a pleasingly realistic appearance.
These movies are available in a variety of formats in the robot movie directory.

Some of our videos are copyrighted by the music publisher (because of the music) and therefore are available here, or here, or here. Or Here (Siggraph 1990).
