The latest upgrade! Boston Dynamics robot dog unlocked a lot of new skills

Remember the Boston Dynamics Spot robot dog magic dance steps?

Not only can jump rope, but also can shake the rope: the Spot robot dog standing at the two ends of the robot arm shaking rope, the middle dog is jumping in place. The three robot dogs work well together and have a lot of fun.

Since Boston Dynamics published the robot’s dancing video last month, the Spot robot dogs are constantly enriching their skill set. Not only do they dance, mine, and give help to paramedics, but now they have a new skill set as developers have added a robotic arm and a new programming interface to it.

No, this morning Boston Dynamics released a freshly-baked video of the Spot robot dog transformed into a nanny, gardener and warehouse manager.

It can now jump rope again!

To be a competent nanny, picking up dirty clothes and putting them in the laundry basket is the most basic:.

Little things like opening doors have long been nothing new:.

The robot dog can also take on the role of a gardener, with a small shovel in hand and a small basket on its back, digging a hole and burying some soil:.

Then carefully take the sapling out of the basket and plant it in the soil: alt=

Once inside the warehouse, the Spot robot dog immediately starts to perform its role as a janitor by pulling the electric switch and turning on the lights: alt=

In addition, Spot effortlessly dragged a huge cinder block around the parking area

He then became an ambassador, skillfully outlining the giant “Boston Dynamics” with chalk.

The video’s sequence of actions once again demonstrates the unlimited potential of Spot’s mechanical dog, with Boston Dynamics adding, “Spot’s hand, arm and body movements can all be automatically coordinated to simplify operational tasks and expand the arm’s workspace, allowing it to have a largely unrestricted reach. The behavior shown in the video is written using a new mobile operation API that supports autonomous and user applications, as well as tablets that allow users to operate remotely.
