The real deal is the software under the hood - called Choreographer - that gives the robotic dog its moves.

Boston Dynamics’ Spot now has a furry cousin, Sparkles, and this cuddly canine will surely melt hearts.

On the other hand, Sparkles is a goofy dog who is happy to see anybody around him and can break a leg at a moment’s notice. The dancing bug is infectious, and Spot is loosening up a little in Sparkles’ presence, showing us its dance moves. While Boston Dynamics can deploy a team of engineers for their creatives, the media industry won’t have experts to program the robot dogs to execute precise moves.
