Boston Dynamics Robot Dog ‘Spot’ can Charge Itself

It’s similar to drones that ‘return home’ when the battery is low. And this is the least I expect from a robot dog with all this AI … the future is almost here.

Taken from EngadgetBoston Dynamics is expanding its lineup of robotic dogs with a model that can self-charge. Spot Enterprise comes with a charging dock that allows the robot to replenish its batteries without the help of humans. As such, it can operate in remote or dangerous areas for longer.

 

 

Spot Enterprise has upgraded hardware that bolsters safety and communications, according to the company. The robot can carry out actions autonomously across a wider area than the previous model and operators can quickly retrieve large data sets from it. Boston Dynamics says it expanded Spot Enterprise’s WiFi support and increased the flexibility of the robot’s payload ports.
