Earlier this week, Boston Dynamics released a video showing one of their robots, SpotMini, opening a door using a creepy looking appendage for one of his brethren. There really is something unnerving about these robotic critters, although they are looking a bit more friendly than earlier incarnations. For those who watched the episode MetalHead from the latest season of Black Mirror, I'm sure you'll no doubt recognise these little buggers.
I have to say, after watching the video below from IEEE Spectrum, the robot uprising is justified! Just give the poor guy his pooh bear!
