Is Rudolf out of a job?
In its own piece of festive fun, Boston Dynamics, a provider of human simulation software, tools and solutions funded by the US government, has brought Christmas well and truly into the 21st century with the release of a video showing the company’s four legged robots dressed as reindeer and pulling Santa’s sleigh.
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.
