The team at Boston Dynamics sure does have a sense of humour. I hope.

Spot – mini
The team at BD is at it again. SpotMini is a new smaller version of the Spot robot. SpotMini is all-electric (no hydraulics) and runs for about 90 minutes on a charge, depending on what it is doing.
SpotMini is one of the quietest robots Boston Dynamics have ever built.

See spot run….
Early last month W I R E D magazine published a piece called: The Creepy Collective Behavior of Boston Dynamics’ New Robot Dog
Author NEEL V. PATEL notes the “creepy” part:
around the 1:20 mark, when a pair of Spots begin trekking up a hill. Spot Number One starts repeatedly colliding into Spot Number Two—and neither loses balance. After a few seconds and a bit of subtle push-and-shove, they straighten out and walk in parallel again, and then turn together once they reach the top of the hill.
Not quite the BORG but the advances being made are stunning.
