Spotmini

In the company's latest 29-second teaser, Atlas can be seen jumping over a log using one leg before nimbly bounding up increasingly high wooden boxes.

Boston Dynamics' Marc Raibert says his company is testing SpotMini with potential customers from security, delivery, construction and home assistance industries.

They can unload the dishwasher, deliver packages to your home and open door. And they use their thin metallic legs to traverse stairs - or crawl straight into your worst nightmares. Now Boston Dynamics's awkward, four-legged, dog-like robot, SpotMini, is evolving from a viral YouTube sensation to a purchasable pet of sorts, according to the company...

They look like they've scampered out of a thriller - sleek, four-legged robots vaguely resembling dogs, flinging open doors and evading attacks from the humans controlling them.

In one of the scariest moments in the movie "Jurassic Park," a pair of intelligent Velociraptors, brought back to Earth by man's hubris, defy an assumption about their limitations: They open a kitchen door.
