Looking for a new dog? One that doesn't pie?
Those of you that know me, are familiar with the fact that we just recently extended our family of 4 with a little dog called Jazz. Specially the first 3 months were quite challenging with such a small puppy.
I bet this will change in the future....
We most probably add another, "dog"-look a like to the family if it is up to Boston Dynamics. Not sure whether i want this one to be climbing stairs like in the movie. Love the fact that Jazz stays at ground level.😊
Just imagine what the value of such a robot could be in dangerous situations where now real animals are being put to the rescue, or sent into hostile environments.
Take a look at the Spot Mini and be surprised of it's capabilities:
SpotMini autonomously navigates a specified route through an office and lab facility.
Before the test, the robot is manually driven through the space so it can build a map of the space using visual data from cameras mounted on the front, back and sides of the robot.
During the autonomous run, SpotMini uses data from the cameras to localise itself in the map and to detect and avoid obstacles.
Once the operator presses 'GO' at the beginning of the video, the robot is on its own.
Total walk time for this route is just over 6 minutes. (The QR codes visible in the video are used to measure performance, not for navigation.)
