A dancing robot gave a whole new meaning to "doing the robot" when it executed a flawless performance of the running man to the dulcet tones of "Uptown Funk". On Tuesday, Boston Dynamics debuted a YouTube video of their SpotMini, a four-legged robot that they'll be selling next year as their first commercial product, dancing the Running Man to a peppy cover of "Uptown Funk." While there's no one specific job that the robot is made for, according to The Verge, Boston Dynamics founder Marc Raibert has said that its skills are versatile and it can be relied on for tasks like inspection duties, research, and security. And while the bot seems like it'll be able to work hard, as this clip shows that the SpotMini will have no problem being able to play hard too.

Boston Dynamics continues to crank out viral-worthy videos of its robots busting strange and unexpected moves. The robotics company formerly owned by Google released on Tuesday a new video of its dog-like SpotMini robot dancing to a cover of Mark Ronson's "Uptown Funk." It even pulls off the robot-dog equivalent to a moonwalk. Previously SpotMini has gone viral for opening doors for its robot comrades. Boston Dynamics released no information to accompany the video, so it's entirely possible that Spotmini has been pre-programmed to dance.

Don't believe him, just watch. Spot the robo-dog has another trick up his sleeve in a new video where he can be seen twerking to Bruno Mars' dance-worthy hit'Uptown Funk.' Boston Dynamics, the secretive firm behind the four-legged droid, released the video on Tuesday. If you thought humans were safe from the impending robot takeover on the dance floor, you might want to think again. In the minute-long clip, Spot can be seen stepping and moving almost perfectly in time with the music. And in a testament to Spot's precise motor control, the robot performs his own version of the popular Running Man dance.

If what you need today is a dog robot twerking to "Uptown Funk," well then you're in luck. Boston Dynamics' SpotMini robot is featured in a new video intended to show off its mobility, and it certainly does that as the robot dog steps, gyrates and dances in time with music. The SpotMini robot weighs about 30 kg (66 lbs) and is all electric. It can run for about 90 minutes on a single charge. It has 17 joints and an attached arm with five degrees of freedom. The SpotMini goes on sale sometime in 2019, but pricing information hasn't been revealed yet.
