Robots Perform "Running Man Challenge"
The latest internet fad is coming to a close, but that because there aren't too many ways you can top the "Running Man Challenge." For those who don't know, the challenge is based off of the Ghost Town DJ's song "My Boo" and started when someone noticed how ridiculous the dance moves in the music video are...
Listen on Spotify: http://smarturl.it/MyBoo_Sptfy?IQid=ytd.gtdj.mb Listen on Apple Music: http://smarturl.it/MyBoo_AM?IQid=ytd.gtdj.mb Lyrics: Boy you should know that I got you on my mind Your secret admirer I've been watching you At night Ithink of you I want to be your lady, baby If your game is on, give me a call Boo If your love is strong, gonna give my all to you
This sparked many parodies which you can find all over Youtube. One of my favorites is this particularly geeky one...
MOTION DL: (http://bit.ly/1ru5jcE) important: Make sure the models you use have a master/mother bone in them. The effect also might not work even if they do, and i don't know why. So try to copy the movements of the original video with your models if it's not working. Sorry, yo.
Now my favorite "Running Man" video has been topped by the robotics team at UCLA. They teamed up with Wired to make a "robot" version, and it's just fantastic. Enjoy!
The Robots of UCLA's Robotics and Mechanisms Lab (RoMeLa) take part in the Running Man Challenge.
