​A robot holiday music video

The engineers at the Autonomous Systems Lab in Zurich have a holiday gift for anyone who likes robots, music and dancing. (And who doesn't?)

Part of the Institute of Robotics and Intelligent Systems, the lab's mission is "to create robots and intelligent systems that are able to autonomously operate in complex and diverse environments," with an interest in robots that act on the ground, in the air and underwater.

These varied capabilities are on all display in the "Autonomous Christmas Lab 2014" video, which features 16 robots stepping, rolling, swimming and flying to an electronic soundtrack. Three other bots -- Artor, Europa and Robox -- did the lights, sound and camerawork.

Enjoy, humans:
