ROBOT OF THE WEEK: OPENING A DOOR FOR A FRIEND
by Hazed
Robot makers Boston Dynamics released a video a few months ago showing how one of their robots can open a door to allow its friend through. It’s quite clever, and cute, since the company has made the Big Dog style robots look a lot less crude and mechanical.
But we don’t have to worry about the rise of the robots – to defeat the door-opening robot, just replace the lever-style door handles with round door knobs!
