Robot 'dog' trials sheep herding in New Zealand

Boston Dynamics four-legged robot ‘Spot’ has been taught to herd sheep after its developers teamed up with New Zealand robot operations software platform “Rocos’, to up-skill its robodog. Rocos is training Spot to work on farms to help 'increase accuracy in yield estimates, relieve the strain of worker shortages, and create precision in farming’. Credit: Rocos / Reuters
