Watch: Pack of Boston Dynamics robot dogs pulls truck
Mush. A pack of robot dogs stood in for real dogs, and a box truck instead of a sled, in a new video released by a U.S. robotics company, showing the robots pulling the truck with apparent ease.
The video posted Tuesday shows 10 four-legged, though headless, robot SpotMini pulling a truck across the Boston Dynamics parking lot in Waltham, Massachusetts.
The truck was parked in neutral and carried across the lot that inclines about 1 degree, according to the video description.
The company said that the Spot robots will be available for a range of applications soon.
