Does This Robot Freak You Out?

Just before Thanksgiving, the Internet lit up with the remarkable video of Boston Dynamics' robot Atlas doing a backflip. It was pretty amazing to see a humanoid-shaped machine doing things that would be hard for most humans. Given all the interest in Atlas, I thought it was a good time to remind everyone about the other non-humanoid robots Boston Dynamics is building. These are the ones that have the "big freaky" factor. Perhaps it's the strange gate of Spot the robot dog or the headless SpotMini (seen in this video) or the nothing-like-that-exists balance of Handle.
