What’s worse than a robot dog that can open doors? How about a robot dog that opens doors and that can’t be stopped?
Boston Dynamics’ latest terrifying video shows an employee trying to stop its SpotMini robot dog from opening a door.
Needless to say the employee fails, miserably.
While it might be innocently titled “Testing Robustness”, don’t let that fool you.
This is a human with a hockey stick trying, quite violently, to stop a robot from getting past it. Even physically holding the door fails with the employee eventually resorting to a rope attached to the back of the robot.
While he manages to pull the robot back you can see just how much the robot is fighting against the rope, relentlessly moving towards its goal.
The end result? The dog manages to open the door, obviously.
