I can’t believe how fluid the movements are! Bravo Mick!

[Neeyellowart]

I look forward to their debut album "Aftermath"

Boston Dynamics ~2019: “it’s an arm not a head”

Boston Dynamics 2021: “whatever”

The people who choreographed this really know how to build characters through animation. The way the "head" seamlessly transitions into the "hand" and then starts building the whole silhouette is amazing. Great job whoever you are people!

Can't believe how fluid the movement is, bravo Boston Dynamics team.

[Poeneutral]

The movements are so delicate and smooth. I remember when robots could barely walk around. The improvement is palpable.

[robintst]

Mic Jagger will never die, he'll just become a Boston Dynamics robot.

[gregwessendorf]

The movements are so fluid and lifelike. The robots are also impressive.

[GuildOfCalamity]

I not sure what's more amazing, a quadrupedal robot that can dance... or that fact that Keith Richards is still alive.

[ayuu.]

Seeing Spot grow and improve throughout these years is just so amazing!
0:29 Spot doing the drums didn't touch the drums *but* has 4-on-floor rhythm using its right leg and snare backbeat 2&4 on its left!! The rest of the Spot band having the moves is just so super amazingly smooth! Simply awesome!! I can watch whole day!!

[mudsharks]

It's unbelievable how human like the movements the robot's pretty good too.

[marcocampobello]

I can't believe I was born in a time where I get to experience whatever this is 🤣

[outandabout]

0:38 that rear-end-side-jump looks extremely satisfying!

[RedstoneManaga]

Spot was definitely made for them 80s dance moves

[craigandsnowwadam]

I seriously hope Boston Dynamics is going to the moon!! Seriously!! That could lead to some serious discoveries!! Thanks Boston Dynamics!!! Your our only hope!!!

[BRUXXUS]

I really appreciate how well the choreographer was able to translate the (mostly) human moves of a head, face, and two arms onto the robot's one... neck... thing.

[effervescentrelief]

The speed and fluidity of the servos is amazing. Wow!

[Rave-agent]

It was the 'Rolling Stones' series that really broke down the wall of acceptance for humanoid robots. Assimilation was much smoother once the meatbags were calm and unsuspecting.

[IAmPiernik]

Lmao strong portal vibes from this. Insane engineering, wow

[giorgikotetishvili]

"If you start me up I'll never stop" - oh boy that sounds scary.
