Watch: Boston Dynamics’ robots groove to BTS tunes
The company also released another video showing BTS themselves sharing the dance floor with the robotic Spot dogs.
Looking at robots do what humans can is always fascinating. Be it just walking alongside humans, doing acrobatics or also responding to a question — robots have done it all. This time, it’s time for them to groove to some music.
To celebrate Hyundai’s collaboration with Boston Dynamics, the latter’s Spot and Atlas robots dance on South Korean’s sensation band BTS’s 2020 song – ‘IQNIQ: I’m On It’. The South Korean automobile giant now owns an 80 per cent stake in Boston Dynamics, the company said last week. And to celebrate this, Boston Dynamics has shared a video with 2.6 million of its followers on YouTube.
The clip begins with five robots dancing to the tunes of BTS. In another shot, seven robots combine to execute the perfectly choreographed performance. The formations of BD’s robots just left many awestruck, making many play the video on loop.

In a statement recently, Hyundai announced the group’s acquisition of a controlling interest in Boston Dynamics from SoftBank. The mobile robot company was valued at $1.1 billion, according to the automotive manufacturer.
