How many robo dogs does it take to pull a truck?

Answer: 10.

First, they learned how to open doors on their own. Then they mastered some iconic dance moves. Now, they’re teaming up to haul big trucks around. Is anyone else getting concerned about the robot revolution being led by a pack of headless yellow robot dogs?

Boston Dynamics recently pitted 10 of its SpotMini robotic dogs against a large truck to see if they could pull it across a parking lot on a “~1 degree uphill.” New Atlas reports that the video was the company’s way of announcing that the SpotMini is “off the production line,” meaning they could be available for sale soon.
