If you’ve recently been around the Internet, you may have seen the videos of the robot dogs called Spot. From strolling down a road to managing a flock of sheep, the clips are many. Now there’s a latest addition to that list. It’s a video which shows a dog robot pulling a rickshaw.
IAS officer Supriya Sahu took to Twitter to share the video which has now created quite a buzz among people. The original longer version of the clip was posted back in February on special effect designer Adam Savage’s official YouTube channel.
The YouTube post’s caption describes that Savage created the video of the robot dog pulling the rickshaw as a part of a project with Boston Dynamics, the company that created Spot.
“Future Rickshaws! See this amazing prototype of a robot-driven Rickshaw carriage. Credits - Adam Savage- Boston Dynamics,” Sahu wrote while sharing the clip on Twitter.
Generally, the videos involving Spot leave people amazed or scared, often all at the same time. Expectedly, people shared similar reaction to this video too.
“Yeeeeeaaaa, we are back in 1800!! Jokes apart, this is remarkable,” wrote a Twitter user. “Amazing,” commented another.
