Here, Spotmini!

The dog-like robot, Spot, now has a new smaller clone!

Meet SpotMini the  Boston Dynamics "LittleDog" robot!

According to Boston Dynamics, "LittleDog is a quadruped robot designed for research on learning locomotion." We can see it has a large range of motion just from that gif!
More specifics on the site include: "LittleDog has four legs, each powered by three electric motors. The legs have a large range of motion. The robot is strong enough for climbing and dynamic locomotion gaits. The onboard PC-level computer does sensing, actuator control and communications."

"SpotMini" the LittleDog is just one of many robots designed and created by Boston Dynamics! The current list of robot designs is:
LS3 (Legged Squad Support System)
Atlas
Petman

Cheetah

BigDog

SandFlea

RHex

RiSE
LittleDog


That is such an impressive collection of robots!

Now that we have a better idea of the specs, abilities, and family of "SpotMini", let's take a look at this magnificent robo-puppy in action!

 Now that is super cool!
Could this be the pet of the future?
