Boston Dynamics robots have attracted a mix of amazement and terror for their diverse range of feats. <\/span>The bots have already sniffed out bombs<\/a>, patrolled oil rigs<\/a>, monitored COVID-19 patients<\/a>, done parkour<\/a>, and occasionally fallen over<\/a>. But the company\u2019s latest video shows they can also cut up a rug.<\/p>\n

The Massachusetts-based firm has released a video of its creations throwing shapes (although curiously not the robot) to the Motown classic \u201cDo You Love Me.\u201d<\/p>\n

The whole gang has hit the dance floor: there\u2019s the humanoid Atlas shaking its stuff like a past-his-prime John Travolta in an ill-advised Pulp Fiction reboot; box-stacker Handle rolling along to the rhythm; and Spot the quadruped <\/span>miming the lyrics through a terrifying jaw that looks poised to eject a lethal tongue like a Xenomorph<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In a shocking breach of social distancing guidelines, the quartet dance in unison, apparently oblivious to the pandemic that prevents us puny humans from joining the fun. But at least we\u2019re spared the humiliation of getting served<\/a> by an insentient object.<\/p>\n
