When Boston Dynamics first debuted the four-legged, one-armed SpotMini, it just wanted to show how fun and helpful it could be. It loaded the dishwasher, it did a silly dance. But its latest demonstration is adorable and also subtly threatening. At least, if you've seen Jurassic Park and you read between the lines. The latest demonstration shows the smaller, sleeker version of SpotMini, which we've seen before, but this time it's the armed version. For its first on camera trick, it opens a door for its comrade. Remind you of anything? Admittedly this isn't quite as flashy as its big brother's backflipping antics, but it's impressive nonetheless. Clever girl, indeed.
