Amazon CEO, Jeff Bezos, takes a walk with his robot dog at MARS
Amazon Founder Jeff Bezos walking with his dog is grabbing headlines, yes, you read it right! The surprise element being the dog is not a real one, but a robot. And like usual, the internet lost it. One of the world’s richest men tweeted a picture of him walking with a robot dog with the caption, “Taking my new dog for a walk at the #MARS2018 conference. #BostonDynamics” and social media is collective cannot get over it.
In what looks straight out of a sci-fi movie, the Amazon founder can be seen walking down a road alongside his robot dog at the company’s MARS conference in California. The robot’s name is SpotMini and has a metal body painted in yellow. A recent video of SpotMini showed it using an extendable arm to open a closed door. Another video on social media showed the robot playing bottle flip game with Bezos. There is also a video of Bezos playing ping pong with SpotMini.
