Watch out Spot, this robot dog from Switzerland can do parkour

Quick Summary:

Boston Dynamics’ robot dog "Spot” has become somewhat of an internet sensation, no doubt thanks to its (perhaps disturbingly) killer dance moves or displays of super-strength.    But Spot is far from the only robodog on the block.

One of its competitors is ANYmal, an autonomous quadruped that’s impressively good at everything from parkour to climbing ladders.    Apart from doing tricks, ANYmal also has a real job.

It does routine inspections in some of the toughest places on Earth.
