Boston Dynamics, the firm that introduced the world to human-like robots going for a job and Black Mirror-style demon dogs, has revealed its latest creation. The machine is called Handle and striking footage shows the automaton balancing on two wheels while lifting boxes and loading a pallet. It whizzes around a large warehouse with impressive agility and uses an overhead sucker to lift and move its loads. Handle was first introduced in 2017 but this version has undergone significant changes. The robot is larger and carries less weight - a maximum load of 30 pounds (13.5kg) - compared to its predecessor which could carry boxes weighing up to 100 pounds (45kg).
