Running, jumping, and flying: welcome to the future of robotics.

Boston Dynamics is celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Rolling Stones album "Tattoo You" with a bunch of Spot robot dogs.

The robots flawlessly mimic Mick Jagger and his bandmates' mannerisms in the iconic ‘Start Me Up’. Clearly, a lot has changed since the 80’s and we now live in a world where dancing robots are a useful promotional tool.
