'Bollywood Terminators': Video of Boston Dynamic Robots Dancing to Tamil Song Goes Viral

The field of robotics is advancing at a rapid pace around the world. While most robots are being employed in industrial settings, some are more suited to the dance floor it seems.

On Friday, a video clip of three robots – two resembling humans and one designed like a dog – having a good time went viral on social media in India.

Posted by retired Indian Air Marshall Anil Chopra on Twitter, the one-minute clip shows the robots making shapes during a synchronised dance routine to a popular song from a Tamil film. 

Chopra captioned the video, “This is what happened when Boston Dynamics employed too many Tamil engineers."
