I was 100% certain that this was computer generated animation. I was wrong. This shows how sophisticated robotry has become. https://youtu.be/fn3KWM1kuAw
Robots dancing to the rock song, Do You Love Me?
Something happy in this joyless world.

The only thing missing was the Boston Dynamics Flying Pig.
Impressive.

I don't think this is real. I am thinking CGI.
The way certain robots move does not look right with their design. The yellow robot is what makes me think it is more CGI. I have seen on television robots similar to the first ones be they all had control cables to them for controlling how they operated. And they did not have this anywhere close to this type of movement.

I'm afraid you're wrong Ray, they have become very sophisticated. Meet the soldier of the future.

We are seeing how far the military will change - these and drones will change combat forever.
exactly....
I had seen this questioned on Snopes, so I revisited the Snopes article who said it was for real. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/real-dancing-robots/
I also felt some of the moves with the robots balancing on one foot had to be computer generated. Boston Robotics is a cutting edge company.
that it is...
I see a couple of places where the video may have been edited, but cgi it is not; the materials and the technology and the expertise are here...
one of the things that makes me wonder what the world will be like when the grandchildren, currently locked out of uni, are my age
in the sixties I read a scifi short story about a robot policemen who were programmed to stop crime and to learn for themselfs what constituted a crime and what the punishment should be
people were executed for switching off their cars because the robots considered that 'murder'
Have a look at the ATLAS robot performing parkour ... granted it's Simple parkour, but the balance and coordination are there.

We get to see those robots acting in a benign manner. Imagine if you wanted to storm a compound and sent a few of them ahead of ground troops. Guns may not even be required.
They look large and heavy right now, but if the humanoid robot ran from a small battery pack it may only require endurance for ten to fifteen minutes to do it's work. The "dog" could just have a machine gun on it's back.
These things are deadly and first assaults of the future will involve kit like this coupled with drones. I think small AI powered drones could take out a compound in very short order.
China is probably the leader in Drone technology. Haven't seen much in terms of robotics but I'm sure they are there.
I wonder who makes the components for the robots that we've seen?
Traditional armed forces are beginning to look very outdated. One day we'll be able to have a conversation with our speakers, things move so fast..
