Watch These Robot Dogs Tow A Truck Easily, Gently, And Quietly

Ten robot dogs called SpotMini have shown their tremendous power by pulling a truck through a parking lot without any difficulty. A video posted on YouTube on Tuesday with the titled "Mush, Spot, Mush!" showed that Boston Dynamics’ robots have successfully carried out their towing task. This is a well-known robot development company like Spot, Atlas, and SpotMini.

Although there is not much information about these quadruped robots, Boston Dynamics notes in the description below the video that they are designed to accommodate a variety of applications. The robot maker also announced in 2018 that  SpotMini robots will hit the market this year.

This dog-shaped SpotMini weighs 30 kilograms and is 78 centimeters high and can carry 14 kilograms. It can move through many different terrains like climbing stairs, plunging or long-distance travel. In addition, it can do both outdoor and office work. Depending on the task that SpotMini battery consumption will be different, for normal tasks it can work continuously for 90 minutes.

The camera mounted on SpotMini allows it to get a 3D vision, and a sensor modifier to help it navigate and move in the right direction. What makes SpotMini worth paying attention to is its ability to keep quiet when operating. According to Boston Dynamics, this could be the quietest robot ever built.

Since it was first known in 2017, SpotMini has shown a lot of development potential. Now, people are about to be able to buy it and use it for many different purposes. Although details of SpotMini's applications have not yet been clearly announced by the manufacturer, its agility, elegance and incredible power can become a standard for commercial robots in the future.
