During yesterday’s TechCrunch robotics conference, Boston Dynamics’ co-founder and President Marc Raibert announced that the SpotMini will be available for purchase in 2019. The first batch of these four-legged robots will be extremely limited: manufacturing partners are expected to build only 100 this year.
Raibert didn’t reveal price plans, but said the SpotMini robots could be useful for security patrols or for helping construction companies keep tabs on what’s happening at building sites. SpotMini can be customized with attachments and extra software for particular jobs, he said.
