Boston Dynamics is leading the charge in redefining robotics, and in the footage above, we see it’s four-legged robot Spot has movements so detailed that it can dance to a tune. A smaller sibling to its massive Big Dog counterpart, Spot is seen doing a dance to Bruno Mars‘s “Uptown Funk” with acute movement, it even twerks toward the end.
