Meet Spot, a talking robot dog that can see, hear and respond to people

Jokes aside, AI could make robots better problem solvers, according to Boston Dynamics. In the clip, when Spot was asked to show its parents, the bot walked over to an exhibit of old robot dogs and picked out the earliest model.  This, Boston Dynamics implies, showcases its ability to inventively navigate vague or tricky questions that don’t necessarily have a correct answer.
