UPTOWN — This robot has moves. Don't believe me? Just watch.
In the latest video from the internet's favorite robot builders, Boston Dynamics, a small, cute, yellow and black robot breaks it down to Bruno Mars' pop hit "Uptown Funk."
I am not exaggerating when I say this may be the best thing ever. It will definitely put a smile on your face, and it might even make you jealous of an actual robot's dance skills.
There's not a whole lot more I can say about this video, so I'll let the YouTube comments say it for me. Since the video was posted Tuesday, it's racked up more than 2 million views and plenty of hilarious comments.
One person wondered if robots will now be moon-walking as they eventually take over the world. Another person commented on how mind-blowing this would be if you showed it to someone from the past. Other people just lamented the fact that a robot has better moves than them, or wished for a robot dance-off.



Unfortunately, I don't have any answers for what this means for the end of the world. Does robot dancing mean humans have less time before artificial intelligence takes over? Maybe. Maybe not.
What I do know, however, is that if all the robots are this cute and talented, it's going to be a way more fun robot takeover than I was expecting. Who knew we would need to be practicing our dance moves in preparation for the apocalypse?
