Boston Dynamics’ Spot robot wants to wish everyone a happy holidays, but in disguise, or a present to be more specific. Let’s just say that the robot is more than qualified to ring in the new year, especially since it’s not even utilizing its 360° camera to map its surroundings. You could even equip it with a microphone to detect abnormal noises, or anyone attempting to drop in from the chimney.
Happy holidays and many thanks to everyone who helped drive Spot's success this year! We're excited to see where you can take our robots in 2022. pic.twitter.com/wnIZKAuhbF

One Spot feature that would definitely come in handy is the specialized arm, which can be used to grasp, lift, carry, place, and drag a variety of items with its 6-degrees of freedom. Making sure the presents are in order for Christmas morning would be no problem, as Spot can be programmed to semi-autonomously manipulate objects with constrained movement.
