You’ve forwarded all the memes, bought every mask and washed your hands so much they look like a couple of shiny beets.

Both awe-inspiring and a possible impending sign of the robot apocalypse, the clip has a quartet of remarkably agile bundles of wires and motors hopping in the air, tapping their toes, doing the Mashed Potato and the Twist, the Running Man and some super spooky coordinated line dancing and fancy footwork that might make furloughed human performers shake in their sweatpants.
