Boston Dynamics
Boston Dynamics is testing a last-mile delivery solution. Spot will help get packages from van to doorstep with less strain and greater efficiency.

As shown here this is the dumbest use of Spot ever seen. What were you guys thinking?
He got them wheels finaly, now what about stair and offroad compability? Anyways, soo cool!
I dunno guys, I think I prefer having UPS kick the box towards my porch from across the street.
Can you make Spot kick the box?
I can't wait to see robots everywhere all the time
스팟을..어떻게 사용할 것인가? / 모든 가능성 열려있다!
Now do it with 20 spots and actually save some time.
Time to deliver packages to the entire street, 5 minutes, time to deliver the street with a robot dog, 30 minutes
Would be interesting to see some navigation challenges: a closed gate, deliver to the side door, presence of a person or pet.
PRETTY GOOD :))
This is proof of concept, but won't be viable until the driver doesn't need to be there. The delivery people still get paid to drive the van, load spot with pakages and open and close doors. Right now Spot is just an added expense. Still needs: self driving vans with automatic doors and robots to load spot. I'll be impressed (and worried for jobs) when the whole delivery process is automated. The hardest part of automated delivery to conquer is safety and legislation.
errrr…Let's put this idea in the maybe column.
Wouldn't it have been quicker to do it himself?
This is kind of like giving an arborist a saw with a 20 meter extension, novel idea but hardly practical.
At least you know the delivery driver wont through the parcel. Just blame it on the poor robot instead. 😂😂😂
This video definitely makes a good case for a self driving van with a humanoid robot in the front seat.
Who's a good boy! Who's a good boy!
This is the sort of video that has people worrying for their jobs. I'm sure there are better activities to show us.
this will be a hit with the neighborhood dogs..
Anything to not pay humans.
"What's my purpose in life?"
"You carry and drop packages"
"OH MY GOD!!"
You send a robot to my house, I'm EMPing that bitch, then canning it and selling the copper. 😛
Last century 😒
Good Boy~ 🐕
hey ~~~ can I sit inside and ride u out for carry ?
Cyberdog should close doors itself
한 마리에 얼마예요?
This is so lame for 2026
You have humanoids now which can carry a fridge
I called this! I told my wife and kids, the first time I saw spot. They could deploy a swarm of these from Amazon vans to do the deployment of deliveries from one spot in a block.
Dont seems too practical with Only two parcels
Am I allowed to pet it when it delivers my package?
It literally would have been faster to just let the guy take the packages to the door. We're not there yet, folks.
The boxes still need to be manually loaded onto the robot. Why not use a robotic arm for this operation, eliminating the need for humans?
It's cute and it works. If you're delivering air.
That didn't seem efficient, he could have just carried them to the door that was literally 20 meters away. Instead of waiting for the bot to start up, unload packages onto it, wait for it to deliver the items then load the robo dog back into the van. Yeh no. Try that in London they would steal the legs off of that thing.
All you need now in a delivery team: Autonomous vehicle, 1 Atlas robot, and 1-4 Spot robots = 24/7 package delivery team. Could probably store a bunch of replacement batteries in the vehicle and/or charge all the robots at the same time as the car when it periodically needs to charge itself at a station. Obviously, probably a number of years out from that possibility, but it's there, which is super cool.
STOP LICKING INVESTORS' BALLS WITH THESE VIDEOS. WHEN WILL THESE REALLY WORK?
Oh no my eggs
Стоит заказать зубную щётку, чтобы угнать робота😂
No, Boston dynamics spend years on innovation, but in one night china will copy and reproduce on cheap cost and distroy your market.
Once upon a time you have mailmen fearing dogs as they deliver their package. Now we have dogs delivering packages for the mailmen. XD
Meanwhile the driver dies of a heart attack after zero exercise sat behind the wheel of the van chomping on cold.puzza and a full fat coke 😂
