Boston Dynamics has once again amazed the world with its new achievements in robotics. This time, their dog-like robot Spot performed dance moves in a dog costume that captured the attention of millions of viewers around the world.
Here's What We Know
In the video, the Spot robot, known for its flexibility and ability to perform various tasks, appears in a dog costume. The video became popular on the eve of the International Day of Dance, garnering thousands of likes and reposts on social media.
"Sparkles" is a special costume designed for Spot to explore how robotics can be combined with art and entertainment. It allows the robot to perform even more complex movements and amaze viewers with its flexibility and coordination.
Spot gets its motor flexibility from Boston Dynamics' Choreographer software. This software allows developers to create and control the robot's movements through the Spot Application Programming Interface (API).
In addition to entertainment, Spot can also perform functional tasks. It has already been successfully tested in a variety of applications, including mapping, monitoring and security. In addition, the robot is ideal for use in search and rescue missions and safety assessments of potentially dangerous locations.
