Video: Spotmin robots are pulled by a truck – ElSol.com.ar – Diario de Mendoza, Argentina

The new Boston Dynamics video shows 10 of its connected machines and pulls a truck uphill on a slope of one degree.

You could see a driver behind the wheel, it was probably to avoid accidents, but the vehicle itself was at a standstill.

Boston Dynamics built the fully electric SpotMini in the form of a 30 kg quadruped robot. The machine can run up to 90 minutes, depending on what you do. However, the battery life is probably well under an hour and a half when trying to tow trucks. It has 3D vision cameras as well as a set of sensors for navigation.

The robotics company said it was the quietest machine it built and was almost ready for sale.

SpotMini canine robots are already coming out of the production chain and "will be available soon for a wide range of applications". Since it can carry payloads of up to 15 kilograms, it has an arm that allows it to handle objects and can go up and down stairs.
