Boston Dynamics unveils Sparkles, a dressed up Spot robot dog designed to explore the worlds of art and entertainment. Dancing is made possible with Choreographer, a tool for authoring and controlling movement through Spot’s API.
This tool, which became available last year for customers in media and entertainment, bridges the gap between the creative process of a traditional choreographer with the technical process of programming a robot. Put simply, the Choreographer controller interprets Spot’s physics and environment, prioritizing balance first, before following the specified steps.

With this athletic intelligence baked into the robot, you can simply provide higher-level instructions while Spot does the rest. If asked to do something physically impossible, or if faced with an environmental challenge like a slippery floor, Spot will find the possible motion most similar to what was requested and do that instead—analogously to what a human dancer would do,” said Boston Dynamics.
