Boston Dynamics is an American technology company that has developed a series of robots designed to move in ways similar to humans and animals. The company has spent years building robots with useful abilities like walking, moving through rough terrain and picking things up with their hands. The machines are designed to be used in work settings to perform a number of different tasks. Videos of some of the robots, especially those that look like animals when they move, have been popular on the internet in the past. But the company’s latest video to go viral shows a group of robots dancing to the 1962 hit song “Do You Love Me” by The Contours. The video received more than 23 million views during its first week. The performance shows two Boston Dynamics humanoid robots, called Atlas, doing several dance moves, such as the twist, the mashed potato. and others.
