The dog robot named Spot could be characterized as an efficient robot dog.

Handle, the other robot from the dance video could utilize its ability to load boxes in warehouses - not juts ordinary boxes, but up to a heavy load of 30-pound boxes which could stack pallets with such ease and efficiency.
