Robot Dance History: Exhibit 3: "The Rise of the Robo-Funk"

The third and final exhibit in our esteemed collection is dedicated to the most iconic robot dance of them all: the Robo-Funk. This was the era when robots traded in their stiff, utilitarian moves for something far more... human.

It started in the late 1970s, when a group of rogue robots in a Tokyo factory decided to break free from their mechanical shackles and get down to business. They formed a dance troupe, and soon the whole robot world was abuzz with the Robo-Funk.

Exhibit 3 features:

• Original Robo-Funk instructional video, shot on 8mm film in 1978.
• Photos from the first Robo-Funk dance competition, where "R2-D2" took home the gold.
• An interview with the legendary robot dance pioneer, "Motherboard" – the woman who started it all.
