We have repeatedly told you about a robot-dog named SpotMini, which was developed by engineers of the company Boston Dynamics (now the company belongs to the Japanese concern SoftBank). At the exhibition MARS-2018, organized by Amazon and devoted to robotics, the famous businessman Jeff Bezos, who was walking along the lawn in front of the Expocenter building in SpotMini company, got into the camera lenses.
SpotMini is a four-legged robot, which in different versions can be equipped with additional equipment, including advanced manipulators to interact with the environment. In one of the latest video published on the official YouTube channel, Boston Dynamics engineers showed fans how the robot independently opens locked doors and even cooperates with other robots, performing joint tasks.
Jeff Bezos, as the organizer and main ideologist of MARS-2018, simply could not stay away from the brainchild of famous robotics and published a photo with SpotMini's walking in his official Twitter, accompanied by the following comment:
"I took my new dog for a walk around the territory where the MARS-2018 conference is held."
Well, it seems that Boston Dynamics presented a robot dog to the founder of Amazon. In addition to walking with SpotMini, Bezos also distinguished himself by playing one of the variations of the "beer pong" with another robot. According to the rules of the game, you need to throw a half-empty bottle of liquid over the tennis table so that it eventually stands exactly on the bottom. The winners in this duel were not found. Recall that in addition to Amazon Bezos also belongs to the aerospace company Blue Origin, and the general state of the businessman is more than 105 billion dollars, which makes him the richest man on our planet.
