US engineering and robotics firm Boston Dynamics posted a video on Thursday of its latest autonomous robot for use in warehouses.

In the video, the robot glides across the floor and places pallets in neat stacks using a suction mechanism.

Footage of another Boston Dynamics robot dancing to the Bruno Mars hit"Uptown Funk" went viral in October 2018. US engineering and robotics firm Boston Dynamics unveiled its latest creation on Thursday: A smooth-moving robot designed for use in warehouses and factories. The robot, called Handle, specialises in handling and placing pallet-based boxes with a combination of speed and precision. It uses an onboard vision system to track specific pallets, as well as specific boxes, of up to 15 kilograms in weight.

Once it has selected a box, it deploys a series of suction pads to grasp and manipulate it before placing it neatly in the desired location using a force control system. Boston Dynamics' video showcases its ability to detect and place boxes onto moving conveyor belts.next month, suggesting it could have commercial potential. It's a long way off Amazon's warehouse robots, which are fully deployed internationally, but has the potential to make them look primitive one day.

Boston Celtics fan banned for 18 months for racially abusing Warriors star DeMarcus CousinsThe incident unfolded during the Warriors' 115-111 win in Boston on January 26.
