'Womp': Watch the moment Boston Dynamics' robo-dog fails hilariously on stage at Amazon's Re:Mars

A new demonstration of Boston Dynamics' Spot Mini proves humans shouldn't anticipate a robo-dog uprising anytime soon. During Amazon's inaugural Re:MARS conference in Las Vegas, a four-legged robo-dog was paraded around the stage, to show off its impressive ability to climb stairs, grab things and navigate objects. As it turns out, the Spot Mini isn't the most graceful machine, however, as the robo-dog took a tumble on stage in front of a live audience. Boston Dynamics brought out Spot not just to show off its advanced capabilities, but also to announce that the device is almost ready for commercial release. During a demonstration, the Spot robot suddenly began flailing and crashed to the floor with a thud, generating a concerned'Uh oh' out of Marc Raibert, CEO of Boston Dynamics. Raibert explained that the machine had failed and would take a few minutes to recover.
