LeBron is not the founder of Boston Dynamics. That’s a common misconception. In fact, Boston Dynamics was founded in 1992 by Marc Raibert, a former MIT professor. The company has become one of the most well-known names in robotics, known for creating highly advanced and agile robots that often leave people in awe whenever they are showcased. From humanoid robots like Atlas to quadrupedal machines like Spot, Boston Dynamics continues to push the boundaries of what robots can do.
Recently, Boston Dynamics introduced a new version of its popular SpotMini robot, marking the first major product launch since the company was acquired by SoftBank in 2017. This new model represents a significant upgrade over the original SpotMini, which was released last year. The updated version looks more refined and is even more capable, showcasing improved mobility and design.
In a video uploaded to YouTube, the new SpotMini is seen moving around smoothly, resembling a playful puppy as it runs across grass, glances at the camera, and quickly hides behind a wall. The robot’s design has been greatly enhanced compared to earlier models, with a more compact and elegant look. TechCrunch, a well-known tech publication, has praised this new release as one of the most sophisticated robots Boston Dynamics has ever created.
While the improvements are impressive, the road to mass production remains challenging. Although SoftBank has invested heavily in Boston Dynamics, turning these high-end robots into affordable consumer products is still a distant goal. The company may be aiming for a more commercial approach, but for now, these robots remain largely in the lab or used for specialized applications.
Boston Dynamics has described the new SpotMini as “Coming soon,†but it’s unclear whether this means an actual retail release or just a teaser to generate excitement. Regardless, the company continues to capture the imagination of tech enthusiasts and industry experts alike, proving that the future of robotics is more exciting than ever.
