SpotMini is a new smaller version of the Spot robot, weighing 55 lbs dripping wet (65 lbs if you include its arm.) SpotMini is all-electric (no hydraulics) and runs for about 90 minutes on a charge, depending on what it is doing. SpotMini is one of the quietest robots we have ever built. It has a variety of sensors, including depth cameras, a solid state gyro (IMU) and proprioception sensors in the limbs. These sensors help with navigation and mobile manipulation. SpotMini performs some tasks autonomously, but often uses a human for high-level guidance.

LOL at the robot dog slipping on banana peels. So, are these babies for sale? I want a robot dog.

I love how Boston Dymanics, in all of their robot videos, feature the robot either being pushed over, tripped, slipped or something else to knock them to the ground, to then show how the robots can get back up all by themselves. Funny to us, but in the future our robot overlords will not be pleased with how we treated their ancestors.
