Boston Dynamics depicted the future of the sleigh by building a robo-reindeer. The company decided to wish its followers and customers a Merry Christmas by making a short video that featured what it does best, athletic mechanics. Boston Dynamics is a company owned by Google's parent company, Alphabet, well known for building four-legged robots that are well-balanced. The company likes to boast its mechanical creations, thanks to its ever popular YouTube Channel and other videos that show its capabilities. The newest addition to the existing range of creatures is Spot, the robo-reindeer. In the latest video, the robots are seen pulling Santa's sleigh, reports CBC News.

This year, Santa gave the year off to his reindeer pals and Rudolf and seem to have upgraded his sleigh. The robots created by Boston Dynamics drag Santa's Sleigh and shares the Christmas message for the people to see. The firm is known to develop U.S. military advanced technology shared a festive video that was posted on YouTube with a staff member dressed as Mrs. Claus and riding the automated sled. She is seen wishing everyone Merry Christmas as the song jingle bells play in the background and the robots pull the sledge across a grassy hill. If the fluffy antlers were not added, the four-legged robotic animal may have failed to look like the reindeer that the company wanted to show, reported Daily Mail.

Boston Dynamics is one of the robotic companies that Google acquired in 2013. The company rarely shares its creations while they are in the making. Once their newest robots are ready, they are introduced to the world with the help of their popular YouTube handle, says Beta Boston.
