It is predicted that automation will “replace” 20 million jobs in the United States by 2030.
Boston Dynamics released a video of three of their robot models dancing to the 1962 Countours' hit song "Do You Love Me?"
The video, which amassed millions of views on its first day of being made public, is a two-minute and 53 second look at what robots are already capable of.

The video caught the attention of Tesla founder Elon Musk, who joked that the "snake-head dog had my undivided attention until winder-head ostrich came gliding through all nonchalant."
The humanoid robot seen in the video known as Atlas, stands at 5'9 and weighs 180 lbs. Other videos showing Atlas' capabilities show the bot doing gymnastics and other impressive tasks.
