Boston Dynamics, a US-based engineering and robotic design company, can be the subject of our news from time to time with its robot dogs. The company is here with a similar issue in this news. However, this time there is no new development. Boston Dynamics shared a fun New Year’s video with its robot called “Spot”.
You will have those who remember; Boston Dynamics officials kicked to show the robot’s balance mechanism, and this incident went viral on social media. The video for the arrival of 2023 isn’t expected to go viral, but it’s fun to see that robots might not be that stable in ‘special’ situations.
What is being told in Boston Dynamics’ New Year’s video?
In the prepared video, we see 3 Spot robots. One of the robots is trying to hang a red ribbon from a very tall Christmas tree. Spot, who has the holder, climbs on the backs of two other robot dogs and tries to reach the top of the Christmas tree. In these moments, Boston Dynamics demonstrates the flexibility and other capabilities of its robots. Or at least that’s what it’s trying to do…
At the end of the video, a surprising development occurs and the Boston Dynamics team bursts into laughter. Trying to attach the ribbon to the tree, Spot somersaults with loss of balance and falls to the ground. This robotic clumsiness makes for a fun sequence in the short video.
