VIDEO: This new dog-like robot has an amazing sense of balance

While this video ends with the tongue-on-cheek disclaimer that no robots were harmed during its making, that doesn’t stop us from feeling bad for the little robot that gets kicked.

It's all part of a showcase from Google-owned Boston Dynamics to demonstrate the capabilities of their latest robot, Spot. Spot is a four-legged robot that weighs about 160 lbs and has amazing maneuverability.

Just watch how it recovers from being kicked by an employee trying to tip it over.
