The robot apocalypse is looking much closer – and a little bit more funky – because some advanced machines are showing off their dancing skills … complete with choreography !!!
Boston Dynamics released a video to sound on the New Year, which features its two exclusive machines – ATLAS and Local (the robot dog) – looking very * NSYNC … dancing in unison with the Contours hit, “Do You Love Me”.

AI is frighteningly cutting-edge here – robots doing their best “So You Think You Can Dance” audition.
We should have seen the choreographed number coming … we’ve seen ATLAS and Spot do everything from parkour to opening doors and picking up boxes.
So while this is cool and all … we are personally praying that the Boston Dynamics team has a fail-safe shutdown for these things.
They still don’t know how to sing (right?) – so, let’s ride or die with The Temptations!
