If you’d thought you’d be able to use a large truck to mow down packs of marauding SpotMinis when they come for you duringthe robot takeover, think again.

Boston Dynamics, the outfit that created the remarkable robotic dog, has just released a video (above) demonstrating that a weighty vehicle is clearly no match for SpotMini, with 10 of the machines comfortably carting off the truck — up a slight incline, too. That’s as impressive as it is worrying.

And if you want to know what a robot army sounds like, just turn up the volume.

Boston Dynamics confirmed on Tuesday that multiple SpotMini robots arerolling off the production lineright now and will be available for a range of applications “soon.” We’re not exactly sure what those applications might include, but looking at this video, roadside assistance could be in the cards.

Boston Dynamics’ dog-like robot hasgone through many iterationsover the years, with the latest version of SpotMini the most astonishing — and in some ways the most terrifying — we’ve seen yet.

It’s not just its incredibly fluid and lifelike movements that amaze, but also its array of expanding abilities thanks to the addition of an arm-like appendage and increasingly sophisticated smarts made possible via an array of on-board sensors and cameras.

A video of an older version of SpotMini shows it performing various chores around the home, including loading up the dishwasher and throwing away trash. It alsoslips up on a banana skin, offering a clue as to what we’ll need in our arsenal of weapons should robots ever make an attempt to run the show (that’s right, lots of bananas).

The most recent SpotMini design weighs 66 pounds (30 kg) and can function for around 90 minutes on a single charge, while sensors and cameras placed around its body help it to understand its environment and move smoothly through it.

Boston Dynamics describes SpotMini as the quietest robot among its growing collection of machines, which includesback-flippingandparkour-capableAtlas, and also Handle, an industrious wheel-based robot that appearsdestined for warehouse work.

As forSpotMini, we can’t wait to see how businesses utilize the robot in their daily work starting later this year.
