The robot takeover may be nearer than we think.

Secretive robotics firm Boston Dynamics posted a new video on Monday showing off its SpotMini robo-canine, where he can be seen opening a door all on his own.

In the 45-second video, titled “Hey Buddy, Can You Give Me a Hand?” a SpotMini walks over to a door before realizing it can’t get through.

Another SpotMini quickly comes to his rescue and extends his clawed arm, which he uses to grab the door handle.

The SpotMini is seen holding open the door as his fellow robo-dog friend then casually walks through the door.

It seems that Boston Dynamics has added even more useful skills to the MiniSpot since the dog-like quadruped’s design was updated last November.

The SpotMini is a small four-legged robot that comfortably fits in an office or home, the firm said. It weighs 25 kg, or 30 kg, when you include the robotic arm. The SpotMini is able to pick up and handle items due to its mechanical arm and perception* sensors.

Boston Dynamics first introduced the lightweight SpotMini robot in 2016, advertising that it could wash dishes, pick up trash and complete other tasks to help around the house.

The SpotMini is also all-electric and can last for 90 minutes on a single charge.

Boston Dynamics says it’s the “quietest robot we have built.”

In the last teaser video, Boston Dynamics appeared to be showing off a pair of 3D cameras that may power an autonomous navigation system.(SD-Agencies)
