Looking like a young Steve Jobs appearing at a futuristic technology conference, GRAMMY winner Justin Timberlake staged a proof-of-concept demo for a dancing robot in the first release from his upcoming Feb. 2 album, Man Of The Woods, "Filthy."

As if "Filthy" wasn't enough, JT also released the 16-song track list for the full album, revealing other titles such as "Midnight Summer Jam," "High, Higher" and "The Hard Stuff." The list, posted via Instagram includes some mysterious initials — A.K., who will feature on "Morning Light" and C.S., who will feature on "Say Something."

Billboard reports three more videos will drop weekly beginning Jan. 18, followed by the album drop just two days before Timberlake performs half time at the Super Bowl. Sounds like robot-assisted science fiction in itself. How much of his mechanically "Filthy" video stage show will he perform live?
