Boston Dynamics' latest robot is a door opener
Boston Dynamics has made a name for itself with outrageous, futuristic robots that walk, jump and run like people or animals. On Monday the SoftBank-owned company showed off another creation and this one will open doors -- literally. It appears to be an update to Boston Dynamics' robotic SpotMini "dog," only this one has a mechanical arm that can grab and pull handles, then hold the door open as it walks through. After a first SpotMini can't go through a door, a second one comes along to open it. Boston Dynamics is making a habit out of wowing the world with its robotics.
