Time.com reports that the robotics firm Boston Dynamics is showing off its latest creation, a robotic dog that can open doors.
Don't be a hater to the cute dog.
Now wait, we're watching a video right now.
This dog can't figure it out, but another dog can, another robotic dog.
They come around.
This is black mirror all over it.
So in a video posted by the company, we're watching it right now.
That could be an alien.
The company's Spot Mini robot is seen struggling to get past a locked door until another Spot Mini shows up with a special arm that can open the door.
The second robot then holds the door open for his little buddy.
It isn't clear if the robots are acting anonymously or if someone's controlling them.
It doesn't show on the video.
But robots like this have real-world benefits, according to Time, like the ability to find people stranded in rubble after earthquakes and natural disasters.
There's lots of practical... We out of Mexicans?
And am I smoking the opium of the masses here?
Because the first thing I thought when I saw that was, that is adorable.
That's what they want us to think.
Yeah.
