Boston Dynamics ’latest video featuring several of its robots welcoming 2021 in style has gone viral with over 15 million views. In an amazing dance video that is part of a celebration of incredible engineering performance, the singing company MIT showed four of their robots performing fully-designed dance moves to the famous beat of The Contours ‘Do you love me’ .
In the nearly 3-minute video, the company has two humanoid robots called Atlas starting the routine with some lame movements.
But when the company’s most famous robot, Spot the robot dog, arrives, it takes the dance to a whole new level, passing through and bending to mimic breaking movements. , waking up a lot online.
Eventually, another robot called Handle, designed specifically to move boxes will also come in, punching in some punching movements.
While most were taken by surprise, they could not deny that robot dance talent was a little more likely, however, to commend the engineers ’efforts to make this possible.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk shared the online video saying, “This is not CGI”. You later added another photo from the video adding: “My snake’s head dog kept my attention undisturbed until a wind-headed ostrich shone through everyone who shouldn’t”.

A new level of disrespect… Metal, clunky, automated robots have far better moves than I hope to achieve. https://t.co/WTkJOJvp38

When I watched movies like WALL-E @PixarWall_E, Ex Machina @ExMachinaMovie, Robot and Frank @robotandfrank, I was always wondering if those sci-fi things could come to life.
Delightful to see the human-machine collaboration suddenly grow every day. 😀😀 https://t.co/qr2UDPI3xN

A bit of a creep, I have to admit. Robots from Boston Dynamics are having a party and they seem to be enjoying themselves a lot. What now? pic.twitter.com/qnWgCg0AhE
