I, for one, welcome our new Smooth Criminal robot overlords. |

Thriller is a shiatty song and a shiatty dance. Michael Jackson's music is dated trash and to boot he is a child molester. |

Wow, that was pretty awesome. I didn't even know they made robots that could get up like that from a sitting position, let alone get up and then join in along with the dancing! I want my own group of these guys following me around all day just dancing to MJ songs. |

Mostly so I could wave at them, have them wave back to me, then kick them over, just to watch them get up and start dancing. |

I want my own group of these guys following me around all day just dancing to MJ songs. And, not just join in on the dancing, but "sense" at which point the dance had progressed to, and pick it up at the exact correct point. This has a lot of potential beyond troops of dancing robots, but it usually takes something fun for the researcher to spur this kind of development. (And, if you think drones are scary, imagine the military potential of this.) |

Now if we can only get it to moonwalk, and make it bigger, and give it a latex appearance, and a voice... And then if we can do it twice for for Pac and Biggie... Ah, a Brave New World indeed. |

Hmmm. I thought I'd seen this before, only with them dancing to "Single Ladies". |

No army could possibly stand against that. |
