We have all seen these somewhat terrifying videos of the "dogs" from Boston Dynamics for years now. It seems as though commercial availability is going to be a reality soon.

The video below highlights the SpotMini's autonomous navigation, and it is worth the watch.
Check out the video.

Raibert had just demonstrated the machine that will be the company’s first commercial robot in its 26-year history: the dog-like, door-opening SpotMini, which Boston Dynamics plans to sell to businesses as a camera-equipped security guard next year.
