Damn, you've encountered a Spot in the wild! I'm totally jealous (but not about the armed fugitive).😉
Maybe someday I'll have enough spare money to buy one, because the Boston Dynamic promo videos are freaking awesome. Especially the version where Spot got combined with an LLM and voice output. I'd love to talk to my dog, and this is at least a step in the right direction, even if it is an artificial dog. 🤷♂️
Oh, I so hope you get a Spot of your own one day! Aside from the whole armed fugitive and being abruptly awakened part, it was a pretty cool thing to see. I can't believe how well it moves!!

Yeah! And let's not forget its amazing dancing capabilities 😉
Even if they are "scripted", it's amazing what moves the guys at BD can squeeze out of a few motors and some wires packed in a doglike shape.
