Engineering and robotics firm Boston Dynamics has released a video demonstrating the new abilities of its SpotMini four-legged mini robot.
A new video shows how a team of ten SpotMinis can move and then pull a truck. It is reported that the robots moved the truck with the neutral gear installed through the parking area at a slope of only one degree.
The company has previously demonstrated that the SpotMini can also collect items ΠΈ .
On its website, the company describes the SpotMini (a smaller, dog-like version of the Spot robot) as a "small four-legged robot" that's quite suitable for office or home use.
SpotMini weight is 30 kg. Depending on the nature of the operations performed, it can operate without recharging the battery for up to 90 minutes.
The main news is that, according to the company, the SpotMini robot has already rolled off the assembly line and will soon be available for use in a wide range of tasks. The cost of the robot is not yet known, but it is unlikely that it will fall into the category of affordable consumer products.
