Alphabet unveils robot dog capable of cleaning the house

Robotic-canine housebot designed to take care the domestic chores takes one step on four legs closer to reality with new SpotMini

Google's holding company, Alphabet, has a new robotic dog from its Atlas-making Boston Dynamics subsidiary capable of clearing up after its human masters.

SpotMini is the quietest and smallest Boston Dynamics robot yet, designed to navigate within the tight confines of a home and able to shimmy under tables and pick up objects with its articulated arm.
