'Stayin' Alive' helps robot strut like John Travolta

Few things were cooler than disco-era John Travolta strutting down the street as Tony Manero in 1977's "Saturday Night Fever." Thirty-five years later, a robot walking on two feet qualifies as just as cool, especially when set to the same music -- the Bee Gees' "Stayin' Alive."YouTube user timtrusler took the video of the anthropomorphic robot named PETMAN, made by Boston Dynamics, and added the g

Few things were cooler than disco-era John Travolta strutting down the street as Tony Manero in 1977's "Saturday Night Fever." Thirty-five years later, a robot walking on two feet qualifies as just as cool, especially when set to the same music -- the Bee Gees' "Stayin' Alive."

YouTube user timtrusler took the video of the anthropomorphic robot named PETMAN, made by Boston Dynamics, and added the groovy soundtrack.

Check out the way the robot moves and compare it to the clip of Travolta, with paint can in hand, making his way down the street in Brooklyn. Even without the flare-bottom pants, wide-collared shirt, leather jacket and gold chain, PETMAN will be celebrated as an early adaptor by disco-loving robots of the future. Especially once the dance-floor moves are perfected.
