I'd looked online to see if anybody had come up with the same idea, and I stumbled upon one example. It was apparently discussed at the IEEE in 1995, though I'm not sure if that applies to animatronics or frame by frame animation, since you had to pay to read the paper where it was mentioned.

My idea for moving robots frame by frame is fairly simple. The basics would probably be something like sending jolts of electricity to move mechanical parts. A jolt of electricity could cause a motor to spin, which would move something like the knee joint of a leg. Also, I'm interested to see how machines and hand movement can work in unison.

Of the things I found on the web, most of it's simply computer animation of robots, animatronics or something else like that. There's many possible directions and a large number of things I'd like to explore.
