A troupe of more than 1,000 dancing robots showed off some Beyoncé-like moves at a recent festival in China, boogying and shaking its way to a new Guinness World Record.
The dancing robotscompleted a 60-second routine at the Qingdao Beer Festival in Shandong, China. Though a few robots were disqualified for falling over or failing to dance, 1,007 bots successfully "bopped and shimmied" in perfect unison, said Guinness World Records.
Patrons of the festival, known as the Asian Oktoberfest, were treated to the performance as part of Ever Win Company & Ltd.'s promotion of their products at the event. [The 6 Strangest Robots Ever Created]

A designer picture frame seems to bend reality: Everything inside it moves in slow motion, seemingly defying the laws of physics. But, as with most mysteries, there’s more than meets the eye. Or, put more accurately, there’s more than meets the brain.
The program allows anyone with an internet connection to monitor the world's fishing vessels for free in near real-time. Millions of people depend on the world’s oceans for their food and livelihood, but they’re still consistently under threat by over fishing, illegal fishing, and habitat destruction. In an effort to protect them, a new project hopes to let any member of the public with an internet connection act as a watchdog, monitoring fisheries for potentially illegal behavior from their living rooms.
Just over two years ago, the Rosetta space probe successfully entered orbit around comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko (hereafter abbreviated as 67P). Rosetta’s mission has been a tremendous success — it’s the first probe to orbit a cometary nucleus and the first to accompany a comet as it traveled towards the sun. One notable failure early in the mission limited the information we could gather from 67P, however. The Philae lander, which launched on November 12 2014, failed to land in its target location. Now, with the Rosetta mission drawing to a close, the satellite “mothership” finally spied its errant daughter lodged in a crevice.
