The company’s BigDog quadruped robot usually has a more military-themed function as it’s used to carry supplies and equipment over rough terrain for the armed services – like a robotic mule. The three stars of the video are Spot robots – slightly smaller versions of BigDog.
Since the launch of the BigDog in 2005, Boston Dynamics has gone on to develop a series of robots, including the Cheetah (a robot that can gallop at 28mph) and the Atlas a 6ft humanoid robot that was designed for search and rescue tasks.
