The robot apocalypse is looking a lot closer — and a little funkier — because some advanced machines are flaunting their dancing skills … complete with choreography!!!
Boston Dynamics released a video to ring in the New Year, which features their two signature machines — ATLAS and Spot (the dog robot) — looking very *NSYNC-like … dancing in unison to the Contours hit, “Do You Love Me.”
BD writes, “Our whole crew got together to celebrate the start of what we hope will be a happier year: Happy New Year from all of us at Boston Dynamics.” What they don’t mention … how and WHY they got their droids on the good foot like this???
The A.I. is terrifyingly state-of-the-art here — robots putting on their best “So You Think You Can Dance” audition.
We shoulda seen the choreographed number coming … we’ve already seen ATLAS and Spot do everything from parkour to opening doors and picking up boxes.
So, while this is neat and all … we’re personally praying the Boston Dynamics team has a fail-proof shutdown for these things.
They still can’t sing, though (right?) — so, we’re gonna ride or die with The Temptations!
