Boston Dynamics SpotMini dog-like robot is down for doing household chores.
I have two dogs who I adore, but neither fetches me the newspaper let alone cleans up the copious amounts of water they regularly drip all over my hardwood floors.
与Spotmini（来自波士顿Dynamics的狗一样，四足机器人）的风险，这家机器人公司现在由Google拥有。在该公司最近发布的视频片段中，Spotmini被显示为装载洗碗机，扔掉垃圾，甚至为他的沙发 - 帕托·帕托（Couch-Potato）提供冷饮。为了限制Spotmini的家务，机器人野兽在战略上放置的香蕉皮上滑倒，并显示出它在自我拾起时的灵巧性。
SpotMini weighs in at 55 pounds and features an all-electric system, 90 minutes of battery life, solid-state gyro, and stereoscopic depth cameras. It’s pimped out to take on basic household tasks—that is, if you don't mind a metal mutt lurking around your house. I think I’ll pass on SpotMini for now and stick to my slobbering, furry poochies who are good for love and laughs—for housework, not so much.
