Robot dogs by the name of ‘Spot’ are becoming pretty popular on the internet these days. Though they’ve been around for quite some time, more and more people are learning about them now.
Adam Savage is the person who has been operating Boston Dynamics’ ‘Spot’ robot.
The robot is eye catching because it resembles a dog with four legs.
The variety of stuff ‘Spot’ can do is amazing as it has many capabilities. It can climb stairs, traverse through rough terrain, dance, move in various directions, and even manage a bunch of sheep.
Though ‘Spot’ is a robot, it can make a bunch of decisions and assessments all by itself without human intervention. It can operate in a wide variety of environments.
The latest addition to its long list of capabilities is pulling a rickshaw.
IAS officer Supriya Sahu tweeted the video which has created a buzz among social media users however the original video was posted earlier on Adam’s official YouTube channel.
