‘Creepy’ Boston Dynamics robot dog dances in glittery blue costume: ‘Nightmare fuel’
NY Post
Humans aren’t the only beings in danger of being replaced by robots.
A video of Boston Dynamics’ iconic robo-dog Spot dancing in a blue dog costume freaked out social media users with many labeling the canine cosplay “fuel for nightmares.”
“Sparkles is a custom costume designed just for Spot,” wrote the robotics firm in the caption to the unsettling video, which amassed over 1.1 million views since Monday.
The dystopian clip, uploaded in honor of International Dance Day, begins with “Sparkles” performing a complex routine while another unadorned Spot model looks on.
Then, seemingly jealous of its counterpart hogging the Spot-light, the latter quadruped joins in and the duo executes a synchronized dance sequence so flawless it appears computer generated.
It appears that one can teach old robo-dogs new tricks.
