Watch a team of Boston Dynamics robots pull a truck like champs


Boston Dynamicsβ€˜ robot, Spotmini, can already dance to songs and open doors. But the company isn’t done showing off cool tricks. In a newly released video, you can see 10 Spotpower bots – a beefed-up variant of Spotmini – teaming up to pull a truck across the road (with 1-degree inclination) with ease.

These robots will soon be ready for service: the company said that Spot robots are coming off the production line now, and will be available for a range of applications in the near future. It’ll be interesting to see if the firm can pull it off. Last year, Boston Dynamicsβ€˜ founder, Marc Raibert, had promised that Spotmini will be commercially available in 2019.

The comparison clip above shows how far Boston Dynamics’ tech has come over the course of a decade. We can’t wait to see what Spotmini might be able to do in the real world.
