FULL STORY
======================================================================

There cant be many people who havent seen at least one video of Boston 
Dynamics' robot dog Spot performing tricks like going up and down stairs, 
spinning, dancing, jumping, and carrying objects. The robot isnt just for fun 
however. It can be used for a variety of work tasks, such as inspecting 
industrial sites and carryingout hazardous duties. 

Spot isnt the only industrial robot animal in town now, though. It has 
competition from an unexpected source  Lenovo. 

Wisely, the Chinese manufacturer isnt calling its creation a dog, and its 
added an additional pair of legs to further distance itself from Boston 
Dynamics's robot canines, but its hard not to draw comparisons. Six legs are 
better than four? 

Lenovo Daystar Bot GS, which is referred to as a Legged Robot For Inspection 
Solution, can be seen in all its glory on the IF Design site . 

The details accompanying it say Step into the forefront of industrial 
automation and public services with Lenovo Daystar Bot GS. The groundbreaking 
six-legged design guarantees unmatched stability and maneuverability that 
surpasses traditional robotic platforms, allowing it to traverse diverse 
terrains with ease. 

Daystar Bot GS is aimed at trade, industry, government and the public sector, 
and Asia will be Lenovo's primary market when it is released later this year. 

Lenovo adds, Boasting an advanced control system, cutting-edge perception 
algorithms, and IP66 robust protection, GS outperforms in unforeseen 
scenarios, enabling comprehensive data collection at any location and time. 
In our unwavering pursuit of excellence, GS stands as a testament to 
innovation, efficiency, safety, and the boundless potential of automated 
exploration. 

The big one question we dont currently have an answer for, is who would win 
in a fight (or a race for that matter)  Spot or GS? (Image credit: Lenovo)
