Boston Dynamics has been working on an automated robot dog for some time now. You may even recall a video of the strange four-legged robot “creature” with bendable legs awkwardly walking up stairs and through a warehouse. At the time it was a bit rough and not as smooth as you might want from a fully functional robot. Now, fast forward to the present time, and the Boston Dynamics Robot Dog Spot is available for purchase.
The robot can function in temperatures ranging from -4° to 113° Fahrenheit and can run up to 1.6 meters per second. The robots are beneficial as the devices can carry a considerable amount of weight (the military-grade version can carry 400 pounds). It will sell primarily to utility companies and construction firms. In fact, early sales are directed specifically at these industries. So if you’re interested, make sure to check out the Boston Dynamics website for more order information.
