Video of the Day: Testing Door-Opening Robot's Limits

After releasing a video showing the SpotMini four-legged robot opening a door, Boston Dynamics has put another demonstration from its lab up on YouTube. This time, a human provides resistance and tests how the robot reacts to an obstacle in the way of its mission to open the door. A human driver (not the person shown in the video) gives the robot a command to 'GO' two times during the video, once at the beginning and once at 42 seconds. The rest of the SpotMini's behaviors are autonomous.
