” Video of a Boston Dynamics Spot robot dog apparently wandering a city street on its own has struck terror into the hearts of social media users.
The dog-bot turns toward the cameraperson & appears to snap a photo before walking away.
Boston Dynamics’ robot dogs have been deployed in Singapore to enforce social distancing during the Covid-19 pandemic

The clip polarized social media users, many of whom were filled with horror at the sight of the seemingly autonomous metal canine. “Shoot on sight,” one said succinctly.
More than a few were reminded of the Black Mirror episode “Metalhead” – literally inspired by Boston Dynamics’ products – in which armed & extremely persistent robot dogs hunt & kill humans in a post-apocalyptic landscape.
