Boston Dynamics' SpotMini Can Dance Now

At IROS in Madrid a few weeks ago, Marc Raibert showed a few new videos during his keynote presentation. One was of Atlas doing parkour, which showed up on YouTube last week, and the other was just a brief clip of SpotMini dancing, which Raibert said was a work in progress. Today, Boston Dynamics posted a new video of SpotMini (which they're increasingly referring to as simply "Spot") dancing to Uptown Funk, and frankly displaying more talent than the original human performance. The twerking is cute, but gets a little weird when you realize that SpotMini's got some eyeballs back there as well. While we don't know exactly what's going on in this video (as with many of Boston Dynamics' video), my guess would be that these are a series of discrete, scripted behaviors that are played in sequence.
