Introducing SpotMini
SpotMini is a new smaller version of the Spot robot, weighing 55 lbs dripping wet (65 lbs if you include its arm.) 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 we have ever built.

Tiny bit freaky, mostly AWESOME.




Love this lil guy
Me too. It doesn't look cuddly but I'm pretty sure I'd end up snuggling with it and scratching the top of its head like a puppy's.
I think I would too!
The second video where it gives the human a soda can is a little bit alarming. It brings the soda, delivers it, but then appears to want it back. My first honest reaction was to destroy it. These machines may not fare well in our society, they may end up being hacked apart, shot, or sledgehammered.
