SpotMini
Bezos was photographed with SpotMini in March 2018, his new robot dog created by Boston Dynamics, the famed American robotics and engineering company. This electric-powered pooch can run for 90 minutes before recharging and weighs around 55 pounds (25 kg). SpotMini made headlines in Feb 2018, when a video of it opening a door despite a human trying to stop it, as a showcase of how robots will eventually take over the world.
