The engineering and robotics company has already produced incredibly skillful machines that will haunt your nightmares if you're one of those who's convinced humanity is doomed and that the rise of the robots is at hand. The company's robots have, for example, already shown an ability to navigate obstacles Parkour-style, easily manipulate boxes in a warehouse, deftly handle stairs and other barriers, along with much more.

And now, it seems, the company's designs are about to move from controlled test environments to the real world. The company's four-legged, dog-like robot Spot — its first commercial robot — is going on sale soon.
