The robotics company known for its widely shared YouTube videos of nimble, legged robots opening doors or walking through rough terrain is finally preparing to sell some of them after years of research. Raibert said his company will begin selling the dog-like SpotMini robot next year, likely to businesses for use as a camera-equipped security guard.
