The four-legged walking robot "SpotMini" with a yellow body appears at the beginning. However, this child is not a new robotIt was announced as of 2017Thing.


I walked to the point of approach, but I faced being blocked by a blue door in front of my eyes.


"I was troubled ... ..." a dog looking at the situation ... ... a type robot. Boston · dynamics is hands-on as well as "staging" of this story.


Suddenly, when I send a signal to the other side of the screen just as "Oooh, come here" ....


Another SpotMini-kun appeared. On top of the body, something like a black arm is loaded.


Aiming at the door just as "Hmm, this guy" ......


I will extend something like an arm like "Kuun" like a head.


And when you catch the lever of the door in a mouth-like part ... ...


I opened my door carefully.


And the left foreleg and neck to deft? arm? Support the door with ... ...


Open the door completely.


A dog that gives you a passion by feeling like "Hey hello".


And while supporting the door ... ....


Aside from "Before breakfast," I also got out of the door lightly.

At the company in 2017Robot "Atlas" with higher body capability than "Human back" capable of "back sun"Although it had announced it, it was released a year ago in it and already in the movieOpening the door and going outHad been stored.
