The famous American company Boston Dynamics introduced a new version of the robot SpotMini. In comparison with his progenitor, he looks much more complete. The American company Boston Dynamics, now owned by the Japanese telecommunications corporation SoftBank, likes to draw attention to its activities, periodically pleasing us with new versions of robots. The small four-footed SpotMini was shown in 2016. It became the development of the robot Spot, which was introduced in 2015. Using the hand-manipulator SpotMini could perform simple everyday tasks. At the same time, he looked somewhat "Spartan", and sometimes frankly frightening.
Now the company Boston Dynamics showed a new version of SpotMini. Painted in bright yellow, the robot is purely visual looking much more complete than its predecessors. The internal elements of the structure and mechanisms cover the decorative panels. On closer inspection, it is also noticeable that SpotMini's movements have become smoother and generally more advanced.
Boston Dynamics founded in 1992 on the basis of a group of engineers MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) specialist in robotics Mark Raybert. One of the customers of Boston Dynamics was the defense-research company DARPA. "
