Boston Dynamics robo-dog Spot cleans, gardens and skips
Boston Dynamics’s Spot robot can now be fully remote-controlled from anywhere in the world, using a web browser-based platform called Scout.
Previously it needed to be controlled via a bespoke tablet, which meant the operator had to be nearby.
To mark the announcement, the firm – which was recently taken over by Hyundai – has released video showing it being put to new uses included gardening, tidying the home and – for some reason – jumping over a skipping rope.
