Hey HN,
Tech demos don't get cooler then this one. You can control a Spot robot just using the browser. I am especially excited since it uses a Open Source library I work on https://github.com/pion/webrtc https://github.com/pion/webrtc. This Go implementation of WebRTC is built and deployed right to the robot. Then using DataChannels + RTP you can control it from anywhere in the world! You don't need to run servers to bridge the media or get a world routable IP even.
Formant is one of the reasons I love working with WebRTC so much. This is a project that has a chance to save lives. Instead of sending a human into dangerous environment send a robot! Since you can control it from the browser also makes it super easy to use.
