Summary

On Tuesday the company declared three new items for Spot, Spot Arm, Spot Enterprise and

Spot is the charming robot that became famous in Boston Dynamics' music video.

Boston Dynamics has been creating and advancing Spot for a long time but only brought the
robot for showcasing this past June. The mechanical dogs are accessible to US businesses for
$74,500 and the company estimates there are presently more than 400 Spot models within the
world. The pricing for the three new Spot products have not been freely declared and the
Boston Dynamics' group have no comment.

Reaction

Boston Dynamics' products never cease to amaze me. Just like how their robots
danced in the video last time made me so amazed. A robot that can dance so well
just like a typical human can do. Their latest product also amazed me because
their products are not just for entertainment but it can also be for the benefit of
the people who works in a very hazardous and extreme workplaces. I hope
Boston Dynamics' would not stop researching, experimenting, and producing new
robots that will benefit humanity.
