Boston Dynamics’ SpotMini robo-dogs can coordinate, navigate, open doors, climb stairs and even load the dishwasher

A secretive robot project by Boston Dynamics is turning heads. In a 45 second video titled, “Hey Buddy, Can You Give Me a Hand?” you can catch a glimpse of SpotMini, Boston Dynamic’s robotic dog that can coordinate with other robots, open doors, climb stairs, and even load the dishwasher.

The singular robot arm can perform tasks that require stealth and diligence. It can reach into the sink, pick up glassware, and place it in the dishwasher. It can pick up trash and place it in the appropriate bins. The four-legged robot creature moves with precision and is able to navigate up residential stairwells. The robot can even let itself out the front door; the possibilities are endless from there.
