In 2020 we’ve seen a lot, but now we have robot dogs roaming around.

Last year Boston Dynamics launched Spot the Robot Dog, but recently it was spotted out and about at night. The reactions seem to be either strongly positive or strongly negative because Spot looks a lot like the “Metalhead” robots from the Netflix series Black Mirror.

Here’s an example of just a couple of the comments underneath that Twitter post.

The Robot Dog is valued at $75,000 and can do tasks, climb stairs and even open doors. You can watch more about Spot the Robot Dog below.

The Robot Dog was also recently seen in a park in Singapore as part of a trial to enforce social distancing.
