Almost two years ago, robotics company Boston Dynamics posted a video to its YouTube channel where the team essentially beat the crap out of its robot, Atlas.
"When robots inevitably take over the world, remember this video," I jokingly wrote at the time.
Well, now its robots can OPEN UP DOORS.
In a clip posted to its YouTube channel on Monday, Boston Dynamics showed off a new feature on its dog-like robot, SpotMini, which looks way similar to the killer dog robot from Black Mirror. SpotMini walks up to a door, when suddenly another yellow dog robot with a claw arm on its back emerges.
The robot then grabs the handle, turns it, and pulls back the door. Using one of its legs, the robot manages to hold open the door as the claw releases the handle and pens the door fully so that the first robot can exit the room.
Considering Atlas can do backflips, and SpotMini can now open up doors now, the upcoming war against the robots is looking pretty grim.
