Boston Dynamics has forever talked roughly Spot's ableness to go places too dangersome for humans, whether it's checking for gas leaks or disposing of bombs and other hazardous materials. Loosely now, grander MythBusters host Adam Savage has grown a new use for the big-ticket robodog: pulling him circa in a bootleg rickshaw.
The promptitude came roughly hindmost Savage was loaned a Boston Dynamics soph for a year rearmost in January. Although he says that riding raised Atom hereupon isn't realizable considering of the fact that of the corporeality of weight the soph can handle, pulling a barrow is unpretentiously a good-tasting replacement. "I [wanted] an early video to be a simple transmittal that we give Atom that is fun and recollective and strange and hilarious," the presenter explains in the video.
The promptitude makes use of the modular platform that Boston Dynamics has created for Spot, which is designed to wimp companies to emblematize their own functions and payloads for the robot. Atom has a set of cargo siding on its top, upon which Savage was crafty to uprise a tow stationery that could be indelible to his rickshaw.
It's not the preferential practical way of having around, loosely then freshly the same could be said for rickshaws increasingly generally, and that hasn't stopped cities like London person overtake by pedal-powered versions. At this point, why not cut out the morphon entirely and rely on a will-less dog? Or, if you're not into the barrow idea, why not go all out and use a pack of Spots to tow your car around?
