Watch: Boston Dynamics Robots dances at America's Got Talent, dies mid-performance onstage
Boston Dynamics' four legged Spot robots danced on America's Got Talent
All the five Spot robots from Boston Dynamics took to the stage and started their dance performance. Both the judges and the audience of the reality show were in awe seeing their synchronised movements which included swaying, spinning, and precise shifts in formation. At one point, their gripper arms even mimicked Freddie Mercury's signature mic stand gestures.
However, the audition witnessed an unplanned turn when during the performance one of the robots abruptly stopped dancing and remained motionless on stage. Despite the sudden shut down of the robot, the other four robots continued their performance without missing a single beat.
Reaction of the audience and judges to the dance performance by Boston Dynamics' four legged Spot robots
After the performance, both the judges and the audience gave a standing ovation to the robots. When a Boston Dynamics engineer appeared on stage and was asked if the downed robot could be fixed, he confidently replied, "Of course. At Boston Dynamics, we believe in building, breaking, and fixing." In a dramatic moment, the seemingly lifeless robot then whirred back to life, stood up, and rejoined its fellow performers, eliciting an even louder cheer from the crowd.
Cowell even remarked on the unexpected malfunction, suggesting it "was weirdly better that one of them died... because it showed how difficult this was.

From 75 Traffic Lights To Giant Spider: 6 Most Uniquely Bizarre Sculptures From Around The World
photoDetails english 2940493 Sculptures and art play a vital role in shaping the identity of society, preserving history, and provoking thought. They offer a medium of expression that transcends language, which also allows artists to communicate emotions and social commentary. Sculptures bring abstract concepts into physical space, often transforming public areas into interactive experiences that inspire reflection or awe. Some statues are beyond aesthetics, as they foster dialogue, challenge perceptions, and encourage creativity in society, making it more than just decoration. Updated:Aug 02, 2025, 05:34 PM IST Giants Babies Of Prague 1 / 7 Kampa Park in Prague attracts visitors from all over the world, as there are sculptures of giant babies crawling up a building. These sculptures were reportedly designed by David Cerny. Dog With Taxi On Nose In NYC 2 / 7 A big Dalmatian dog named "Spot" in the USA's New York City balances a yellow taxi on its nose.

It was initially installed in the middle of a roundabout in London's Canary Wharf district. The sculpture measures 26 feet and 2.96 inches (8 m) high. The 75 sets of traffic lights are all controlled by a computer. The story of the sculpture is quite interesting.

XRP (Ripple) price today: Check XRP cryptocurrency Bull and Bear cases predictions in 2025
XRP (Ripple) is trading at approximately $3.13 on Thursday to real-time market data—reflecting a modest daily increase around +2.3 per cent. Over the past week, the token has experienced heightened volatility driven by broader crypto market swings and fresh economic signals. Recently, XRP dipped 2.5 per cent amid increased caution ahead of a key Federal Reserve interest‑rate decision and the release of a major White House crypto policy report, which is expected to outline regulatory frameworks rather than immediate market action. Prior to that, XRP surged by over 60 per cent in July, lifted by bullish sentiment around improving regulatory clarity, favorable legislation like the Genius Act, and speculation around XRP‑spot ETF developments. Looking ahead, XRP is trading near multi‑month highs and continues to rank among the top three cryptos by market cap. Key price levels to monitor include support near $3.00 USD and resistance around $3.30–$3.50 USD. Catalyst areas include impending regulatory updates (e.g. the crypto policy report), developments around XRP‑spot ETFs, ongoing institutional accumulation, and technical breakout confirmation. Should market sentiment remain bullish, XRP could be poised for higher targets; if negative headwinds emerge, short‑term retracements remain possible. Analysts remain cautiously optimistic. Veteran chartist Peter Brandt has predicted a potential 60 per cent rally, targeting a price near $4.47 USD in the coming months. Meanwhile, Tony Severino—nicknamed 'The Bull'—forecasts a dramatic 333 per cent surge within 40 days, based on Elliott Wave patterns. Parallel macro‑market commentary points to a U.S.–EU trade deal easing uncertainty, bolstering risk appetite across major cryptos including XRP and Bitcoin. XRP Price Prediction Base case: Continued steady growth toward $5–$6 in the coming months, backed by strong whale activity and institutional interest. Bull case: Potential for sustained rally into the $10–$15 zone if XRP clears key technical resistance and benefits from major catalysts like ETF approvals or Ripple adoption. Live Events Bear case: Hidden risks remain—market structure or regulatory shocks could lead to sharp pullbacks toward $2 or below. FAQs Q1. What is current price of XRP? A1. XRP (Ripple) is trading at approximately $3.13 USD on Thursday to real-time market data—reflecting a modest daily increase around +2.3 per cent. Q2. How much XRP price has gone up? A2.

Sofía Vergara Faces Second Knee Surgery, Shares Pic From Hospital
Last Updated: Sofía Vergara, 53, underwent a second knee surgery, sharing photos on Instagram. The Modern Family star had her first knee surgery in April 2024. Actor and TV personality Sofía Vergara has revealed that she recently underwent a second knee surgery. The Modern Family star, 53, posted two photos on Friday,one from her hospital bed and another of her leg wrapped in a thick brace with a visible bandage. Confirming the procedure with the caption, 'It's done! Round 2," followed by red hearts, a prayer emoji, and the hashtag #knee. Take a look here: Though she didn't elaborate on the medical details or the reason for this second procedure, it comes just over a year after she had her first surgery on the same knee. That earlier operation, which she disclosed in April 2024, was also documented on her social media. At the time, Vergara had credited her then-boyfriend, orthopedic surgeon Justin Saliman, for standing by her through the process. 'If u ever get a [major] knee surgery make sure u Get a handsome doctor who will sleep with u that night… ! Luv u," she had joked in her Instagram Story, accompanied by a picture of Saliman in scrubs. The couple had reportedly dated for over a year before parting ways in January 2025. While their relationship ended, Saliman was known to have played a key role in both her physical and emotional recovery. In true Vergara style, the America's Got Talent judge found humour in the situation. After the surgery, she shared a quirky gift from fellow judge Howie Mandel, a device resembling an electric pogo stick, a cheeky nod to her recent mobility challenges. Vergara has previously spoken openly about her health struggles. In 2022, she shared her experience of being diagnosed with thyroid cancer at age 28, during what was meant to be a routine checkup. 'At 28, 'Cancer' was not a word I expected to hear," she wrote. 'But the doctors found a lump in my throat, and that word became part of my story."
