Its capability to understand how to explore and navigate through a complex obstacle course could also be seen, with the video was titled "More Parkour Atlas."
The dog robot named Spot could be characterized as an efficient robot dog. Aside from the fact that it could perform such groovy dance moves, it could also do such various tasks including opening the doors, herd some sheep, and to carry a bunch of heavy loads. Handle, the other robot from the dance video could utilize its ability to load boxes in warehouses - not juts ordinary boxes, but up to a heavy load of 30-pound boxes which could stack pallets with such ease and efficiency.
