I personally would have loved to see a human dancer dancing alongside the robots, that would have given an interesting comparison.

Me too. Wouldn’t be cool if the robots dance along humans, replacing iconic videoclips or scenes? Like the scene of Jerry (from Tom & Jerry) dancing with Gene Kelly https://youtu.be/2msq6H2HI-Y https://youtu.be/2msq6H2HI-Y Or Paula Abdul “Opposites attract” https://youtu.be/xweiQukBM_k https://youtu.be/xweiQukBM_k

  This duet between a human dancer and an industrial robot might interest you as well: https://youtu.be/Q-sK-s_TzN0 https://youtu.be/Q-sK-s_TzN0

    Here's a similar video, where the same robot plays table tennis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIIJME8-au8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIIJME8-au8

You dont want to be anywhere near heavy powerful moving machinery, thats basic OSH. Glitching robot could snap your neck without skipping a beat (so to speak). There are hundreds of videos on the internet of people being decapitated, torn apart and squished by machinery. Not to mention https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Williams_(robot_fatality) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Williams_(robot_fatalit...

  Nothing a green screen can't fix

    Lack of green screen is what made this video so impactful. Having a human dancing on the other side of a barrier might have worked.

  These robots are nowhere near the strength of an industrial one, so that’s a bad comparison - it is perfectly safe to dance alongside them. I am not sure about the exact number, but the dog-like robot can handle at most 30-40 kilos of weight, maybe the humanoid a bit more but in the same ballpark. The most dangerous would be the rolling one, since it has a counterweight, and crashing into someone would be bad but that’s it. They are absolutely not your average “able to lift 1 tonne” hydraulic arm robots that could indeed barely notice a human as resistence in its movement.
