The new version of SpotMini is as agile as disturbing.
Boston Dynamics had remained in relative silence after that tangled procurement process between Google and Softbank . Since then they have remained active working and now present their new dog version of the future, SpotMini. It is frankly rare to see a headless robot dog.
The unveiling of the new robotic dog has been realized through a brief 25 - second video posted on the official YouTube channel of Boston Dynamics . Unfortunately, the company has shared more details on the new model. Also they invited to follow the slope to find out more information in the future.
The first generation of this automaton had been filed more than a year ago , with a much more robust model in its size and shaped more like a dog. The new SpotMini shown more agile and lightweight. It has a fluid movement that epitomized the progress in the design of these canines.
The first generation of SpotMini weighs about 25 kilograms , has the ability to stay active for periods of 90 minutes 100% autonomous before needing to recharge your battery and comes equipped with a series of sensors and cameras depth to achieve their displacement.
This new version has most likely refined all these points. But will have to wait a bit for all the details.
Undoubtedly Boston Dynamics has achieved an important evolution with robots since those times where their presentations were also potential to see opportunity unintentionally comic scenes and failed .
