Robotic Dancing Competition 1983

[TheItalodancers]

Amazing !!!

[ExaudiBots]

Our model (b i t . l y / r 9 j s 0 n) would have certainly ranked high on that competition.

[martinhowell]

The first song is "Surface Tension" by Analysis, produced by David Rome of Drinking Electricity and Martin Lloyd of Oppenheimer Analysis. The 7" single was released on Survival Records in 1981 (sur 003)

[dEFT07Itd]

[British1500]

I don't understand. This was made almost 30 years ago and we aren't doing this already.

[scarletcoffee]

song at 2:12 is YOU DON'T LOOK THE SAME by Play.

[MrManicTV]

I totally get the 80s now. It's when the masses and mainstream art realized that technology was becoming more manlike and as it follows, man would be more machinelike (i.e. the capabilities of technological innovation mirroring human thinking and functions), and so it was reflected in art and expression.

[eiffe]

what are the names of those songs?

[Trondoc]

Where are Shields and Yarnell?

[TonyTellez706]

i would pay 2 million to go to that party!

[elisdee01]

thanks for posting this movie. the aliens got addicted to the orgasm instead of the heroin. it had everything gay, straight, drugs, sex. it was way ahead of its time. You can't compare it to anything else from today.

[paintitredpromotions]

this is one of the best things I've ever seen on Youtube. Thanks for sharing.

[spiekblix]

Does anyone know the music? Especially the second track. Fonky.

[spottydog4472]

This is another part in the evolution of dance.........todays dance will age just like all that has gone before...celebrate it as this is what lead in part to the dance you do when you go out tonight!

[imthemysterygirl]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahaha!

[skatechatham]

seems they have captured several stages of bowie's career in one room.

[ewol256]

what a bunch of dorks

[planetwawa]

...

[stumpgod]

i find it hilarious that people sem to think that a robot advanced enough to "dance" would be incapable of fluid movement. A sufficiently advanced humanoid robot would be programmed to reduce inefficient movements.

[jb978]

then imitating them would make no point at all since we'd dance like we already dance.. dont try to break down robot dance, you fool!

[stumpgod]

i do find it entertaining when , liker in the animated "Robots" a robot actually does the robot dance

[dtrotteryt]
