No Time to Dance | Boston Dynamics 

It's adorable, serious and funny at the same time

I honestly hope they roll with this and make dancing a mainstay feature. It most certainly has great psychological benefits in making robots less intimidating. I think mainly because dancing, as seen by humans, is a purely expressive form of movement. That being said, the dance routines could be used as self-diagnostic test maneuvers.

Can we also take a moment to appreciate the actor playing Murray? His character is super relatable - we'd all treat Spot like a dog and hope for that little dance. The guy not only sells that perfectly, he's also incredibly light on his feet.

I love that he offered bolts/nuts as treats haha

That's how advertising should be - honest, informative, and entertaining. Well done!

I like Boston Dynamics. Aside from the revolutionary robot technology, the videos are not just entertaining but informative and interesting. In this they show that these robots are designed to be used for mostly industrial maintenance, they arent fully A.I operated, which is a misconception I've seen a few people have, and still shows some of the cool thing's these are capable of. That's the proper way to market your product. It's everything you need to know wrapped up in one three minuet video, with no lies or grand promises. Boston Dynamics are one of the real ones. I'd say, if you're a futurist interested in robotics, look no further than this channel. This is the only place I've seen REAL robots doing insane feats. The strides these guy's have made in the last eight years has been mind blowing. Keep it up guy's.

Thoroughly charmed. I'll continue to adore these robots right up until the moment they come to ki

It was nice to see an ad with an older fella dancing for once, along with some /gentle/ humour. Bravo!

There's always time to dance

They cast the right guy for this

Amazing. A boss recognizing their workforce needs to have dreams and unwind for a few minutes from now and then to deliver top notch work is the best kind of boss. I hope spot will continue to make an impact on better safety and facilitate human workers. I am in awe of your creation.

Nothing makes me smile quite like seeing Spot dance.

Still blows me away how organic the movement of these bots are.

They should put those dance scripts for download so that people can have a dancing robot too

You guys build robots and have a great sense of humor. I couldn’t imagine a better combination. You’re great. And yes. Let us see your robots dancing. Please. Everyone loves the dancing robots.

Let's appreciate the fact, that this dude is one hell of a dancer, too. :) Lovely.

You maniacs Boston Dynamics! Don't you realise what you've done?! Now every union will DEMAND dance breaks with Spots in there contracts! 🤣

When the lights came on at 1:46, that was an explosion in the pipes that Murray had just fixed. Metal shrapnel had pierced his frontal lobe. When EMTs arrived at the scene, Murray was on the floor twitching while mumbling "dance, dance" over and over. Tiny robot footsteps marked out in blood trailed around Murray - the robots had just stepped over him and continued around their routes, oblivious to the suffering.

Man, when they start dancing, they move so smooth it's hard to believe it's not CGI.

Gotta love how Boston Dynamics is making these Pre-Terminators 🦾 look cute 😍😍😍

It’s so cool just how much better Spot’s movement and agility became since the Uptown Spot video

Man, this company is really going places. Amazing products so far, can’t wait to see what else they come up with.

I love it, you guys need a part 2 to this commercial. Same actors! Lol.

I mean, can you blame the man? Spot's just soooooo cuute

The worker is happy to see the robot who will steal him his job :D

Leave it to the folks at Boston Dynamics to meld technology, creativity, and entertainment. Sheer genius! (More, please.)

When a commercial is so great it turns into a short film… damn Boston Dynamics you guys are the science in Sci-fi, can’t believe this is actually part of the world we are living in… exciting times 😎

I am the only one who wants a musical with dancing robots like Spot and Atlas?

We see you trying to make us love the death robots, Boston Dynamics. And it's working. =D

Spot is so cute 😍

It's fun to see a guy dancing with his replacement.

Not just dancing robots....the best dancing robots in the world👌👌

I just love how it's comical but it also shows how well engineered spot is with those really smooth movement, nice marketing, nice humor, love ya

It gives me joy knowing that there is probably someone who’s only job is to program robot dogs to dance.

Brought a tear to my eye. Glad they let him dance with the robot dogs.

The world needs more dancing robots.

I really love this video. To the very last detail. A big thank you to all people and robots involved in making this. Put a sincere and wide smile on my face, made my day.

Boston... Whoever you've got putting this together, don't loose 'em. A product advert that I'd watch a dozen times. Kudos to all involved, loved this!

Babe wake up, Boston Dynamis uploaded more wholesome videos about dancing robots

You've seen them dance... Now see them FIGHT! ULTIMATE BOSTON ROBO-WRECK FEST!

Super impressed! Especially by the robot in the blue shirt 🕺🏽

They really made the right move getting a good PR team. This is pretty good

a small step for Spot, a giant leap for mankind.

I’ve never seen a happier man in my life

Its quite fascinating and scary at the same time how accurate Spot is.

The agility and naturalness of the movements of these robots as they dance is incredible.

The Boston Dynamics is the blockbuster robots makers

The best 2minutes and 56 seconds I spent on the internet starting this year :D

Wow. "Spot" on. Great production too.

YES, BOSTON UPLOADED ANOTHER VIDEO!! you guys are amazing!

the most beautiful thing i have ever seen

Spot has the best PR of any robot in the industry.

Beautiful. Discipline will not be an issue for Spot. Obviously a very talented construct. I look forward to the day we might one day work together. As a maintenance provider, I have been solo in a lot of industrial sites were a automaton like Spot would have been a welcome and worthy assistant.

The cutest law enforcement robotics platform around

The AD in Boston dynamics always FUN

Now that's how you advertise a product! Great job! No politics, no corny narrator.

Noone on any site is going to be happy seeing this thing wondering round filming them, all this will do is increase animosity between office and site staff. " They cant even get off their chair, leave the office and inspect the work, now my boss is a robot" is the end product of this, then it becomes, who can lay the most effective robot traps 😂

Those quick jumps Spot can do are phenomenal.

I saw Spot in person the other day. I know its a robot, but as soon as it turned on and looked at me, I just had to pet him and tell him he is a good boy. Amazing technology

This is one of the only companies whose advertisements will I go out of my way to look up and watch.

These robots are so cool! They're such hard workers and good dancers, too! Glad this guy got to have his time in the spotlight!

You guys have come such a long way

You don't need PERMISSION TO DANCE. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

This is possibly the greatest ad that I have ever seen.

So all as usual: a bunch of supervisors -- now even a robot -- and just a single worker, who has “a lot of things he needs fixing” and “no time to dance”. Oh, brave new world! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Human Robot Interaction at its finest. Great storytelling. I think we need a new type of awards for this.

You're NEVER too old to dream - Rock On!!

I'm happy for him. He needed this.

I love these videos they make of their machines. It makes them seem more likable and "trustworthy" The fact is, we'll be seeing these more and more as time goes on in all kinds of work places.

I wish I had these guys when I'm working on switchgear. It would make checking the lineup and status so much easier. Keep it Boston strong Boston dynamics! Your stuff is incredible!

Whenever i see the notification for Boston dynamics, I’m always like, ok it’s either a step closer to our downfall or a nice wholesome video.

Nice to see that the dancing robots can help us at work

Ah, I always liked youtube short stories and this one really reminded me of those kinds of videos. Good job Boston Dynamics!

We all know spot does more than dance right?! I hear... I hear he refills beers in the most creative ways too! Shouldn't that idea always be on top of Boston dynamics videos? ;)

I love it when Spot moves his little bootie.

That was cute AF!! Y'all got a winner in Spot and your PR team.

With this much progress using Spot, I’m pretty excited to see them start doing similar stuff with their bipedal walkers soon!

This is like Hollywood level production quality

Good job Boston Dynamics. This dancing man looks like real :)

Honestly impressed how much the music, editing, and scripting of this felt like I was watching some children's movie form the early 90s in my youth about a kid and his pet or something like that.

In 5 years: - So, we got the new robot who does the fixing. We're only keeping admin staff. In 10 years: - So, we got our protocol droids now...

God I love being there at the beginning of BD endeavors, from their horrifying motor powered Dog Horse robot, to the sleek industrially integrated design we have today. You guys are beautiful, and I do hope one day to join you in engineering the future Have a beautiful day.

BostonDynamics, this is the fourth time you've bought dancing robots to show and tell this week

The ultimate 'Dad & the dog he didn't want' footage just dropped

I love your videos, I don't think I'll ever have the money or job where I would own one, but I wish I could get a little plush of Spot. X3

spot is out of my price range but maybe someday I will use him in one go my movies. keep up the good work

This company has creativity and marketing nailed on. Way to play into what you create. Never change.

I love this robot and its dance moves! 😊

Well done! You all have or use a great marketing team.

Really hope in my lifetime they are affordable for individuals. I am seriously mobility impaired and would have a lot of use for a robot that could help me pick stuff up and carry stuff for me. Currently that robot is my wife, and I hate inconveniencing her so much. Also, we have a tiny hobby farm and properly programmed, it could actually do a lot of the chores we need. Feeding hay, it could water the animals I think with a custom spray nozzle on the hoses or a custom grip. Could be really useful for a lot of people I think. Not just industrial applications, but I know that the price at this time means it needs to focus on things that it can do better/safer than hiring an employee. I would have so much fun making 3d printed custom attachments for this thing, heh.

Love this! Made me start humming "It had to be you"!

"Dance! Robot wonderland! Ha ha Dance! Robot wonderland!"

I wish I could buy one, amazing work guys.

I both want and am terrified of these robots I swear

The best dancing robot dog I've seen🤣

It feels.. dystopian yet warm and fuzzy

love it!

HAHAHAHAH I’d be literally heartbroken if we got a work Spot and he’d not shake his power port 🍑 every now and then 🤣

I really love how the tone, emotion, and pacing of this feels exactly like a Pixar short! Aside from the way the end plays out, if I needed glasses badly enough, I'd probably be convinced it was one!

Wonderful that he got to dance with his replacement
