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.
