2017 has been a good year for robots, at least: three new world records for most robots dancing, fastest Rubik's Cube solving and First Robot Table Tennis Tutor. Below the fold I list alternate musical accompaniment for each story, from MeFite gmm.

Not such a great year for this robot.

Actually the Boston Dynamics robot that makes mistakes in natural environment but corrects some and reacts to the unexpected is vastly more impressive than lining up a thousand small bots following a synchronized pre-written commands.

The implications of the two threads combined is utterly overwhelming, the day after a single fully functional robot, industrial manufacturing can duplicate millions, billions.
