Four legged, dog-inspired robots have grown in popularity among scientists and first responders in recent years thanks to their unique ability to quickly and safely maneuver areas hazardous or inaccessible to humans. Some of those robots, like Boston Dynamics' Spot, can use large claws and other attachments to help them interact with the world around them.
Ironically, the motion isn’t dissimilar to a furry living dog lifting its leg to relieve himself over a fire hydrant. Elsewhere, the robot can be seen wrapping a backpack strap around its limb and then listing the bag up and over into a plastic container. Researchers also experimented with attaching a claw-like gripper to the end of the leg which allowed the robot to successfully grab and collect rock samples.
