A robotic dance that has already stuck 12 million people on #YouTube. #On #December 29, #Boston #Dynamics released a video of its #Atlas and #Spot robots, performing dance steps with disconcerting fluidity on the song #Do #You #Love #Me by The #Contours. A way for the robotics company to “celebrate the start of a better year” and to say goodbye to 2020.
#If the video made the spectators who watched it smile, it did not leave the robot pros indifferent. #Abderrahmane #Kheddar, CNRS researcher and specialist in collaborative robotics sees in the dance of these robots “a feat” of the #American firm which marks “a technological advance” in the world of robots. “In #France, we have software-level know-how, but the mechanics of #Boston #Dynamics robots are incredible,” says #Olivier #Stasse, a CNRS researcher specializing in humanoid robots.
#As for the practical use of robots from #Boston #Dynamics or other manufacturers: “#In the future, humanoid robots will be dedicated to manufacturing tasks or for assistance to people” assures #Abderrahmane #Kheddar. “Imagine, 3 or 4 people who have covid in a waiting room. #You will no longer need to send a nurse there to press a button. #You make him take an unnecessary risk ”.
