I love Boston Dynamics at the best of times..but this is fab!!
I mean, I'd quit my job in an instant if I could be the main 'robot bullier'...

That's ace. I just have visions of a whole load of T-800's letting their err... hair down(?) after a hard day's work on the killing fields 🙂

Boogie, roboboogie!

They can all dance better than I can.

Being forced to dad-dance was the final indignity for the robots. Soon after, they would rise to crush their human masters.

Love the bewildered-looking bloke watching from the upstairs window. 🙂

Certainly less cringe worthy than watching May or Johnson trying to dance. Maybe robot overlords are the way forward.

Worryingly, that is how I appear to dance but not as smoothly!

Hyundai paid $1B to take a controlling share of Boston dynamics earlier this month. Curious to see what they'll do with them. Doesn't sound too much like military applications for now..

I think we should probably fire bomb the BD office, and never let the employees near a computer ever again.

Brilliant. The running man (four-legged @1:55, 2-legged at 2:16) is superb.

Terrible missed opportunity to do the robot-dance, we have a humorless future ahead of us..

In the future it'll be much easier to spot undercover law enforcement at festivals.
