Recently, Boston Dynamics released a news, a person with a hockey stick trying to stop the robot from opening the door, such as pulling and dragging, the robot began to struggle. Humans still failed to stop the robot and successfully went out.

What is impressive is that the robot is almost completely autonomous in its series of reactions. According to the description of the video, the robot effectively responds to human disturbance and completes the initiative to open the door and successfully go out.

How to use SpotMini is not clear, but it is worth noting that the robot BigDog developed by Boston Dynamics was used for military load (later rejected due to too much noise). At the same time, the company has never released video intensively like it is now, and it has almost never given so much information in the video as it is now.

The robot can get rid of the wrong guidance of external forces and always strive to complete the task. As the video name says, Boston Dynamics is 'testing robustness,' the ability of robots to handle different environments. It’s hard enough to let the robot not fall, but it’s harder to “wrestle” with humans and continue to do things without any problems.

Now, we can't determine the autonomy of SpotMini. Humans may still be using a joystick to control it, but Built Robotics founder and CEO Noah Ready-Campbell believes that it is possible for the robot to perform these actions autonomously.
