That robot

The robotics company Boston Dynamics, known for making scarily-competent robots and then beating them up, is at it again. The company showed off the SpotMini earlier this February, a dog-like robot that can open doors and eerily resembles a creature from Black Mirror.

The SpotMini is hit, shoved between a door, and has its tail-rope yanked back, but still claws its way through to the other side.
