Boston Dynamics, a company owned by Google, has introduced a four-legged robot called Spot. It is the latest marvel of robotic technology, with the most sophisticated autonomous walking to date. Thanks go mainly to advanced sensors, excellent software and artificial intelligence, which is reflected in the incredible adaptability of the Spot, for which neither stairs, nor icy floors, nor slopes strewn with stones are a problem. But he also takes the kick stoically.
Boston Dynamics with a four-legged robot Spot, raises the bar in the field of robots even higher. Spot, which in appearance is one of a kind a robot version of a dog, and moves similarly - including running and keeping the pace of a human - in addition to the usual movements that we are used to from a four-legged furry, it has no problems even with sudden shocks, which in the case of a demonstrative spot is a human kick, because Spot despite losing balance he quickly stands firmly on his feet again. It's a good thing it's not a real animal, otherwise all animal protection societies would be in the air. Well, if progress continues like this, sooner or later even robots will get their rights.

In addition to exceptional stability and ability to overcome obstacles, what makes Spot even more fascinating is that he weighs less than the average person, only 72 kilograms, which is significantly less than anything up to now. And this despite all the hydraulics, metal "skeleton", battery, electronics and electric motor.
