Boston Dynamics' latest robot can open doors
Boston Dynamics' latest SpotMini update allows the four-legged robot to open doors. The latest robot update by Boston Dynamics -- a company known for its unnerving SpotMini robots -- can now open doors, as shown in the company's latest YouTube video. The video, titled "Hey Buddy, Can You Give Me a Hand?" shows a signature yellow dog-like creation from Boston Dynamics walking toward a door and examining it, before another robot approaches the door. The second SpotMini robot trots over and releases its black arm, which grabs onto the door handle and proceeds to open the door. The arm then maneuvers around the door, which opens entirely, and the polite SpotMini allows his first robot to enter the room first, before following suit.
