PORTLAND Ore. (KPTV) - A new type of “K-9″ is joining the Portland Police Bureau. But it’s not like any other dog you’ve likely seen. “Spot” the four-legged robot is manufactured by Boston Dynamics and Portland police said at a news conference Thursday that he’ll be used in many ways, including bomb disposal.

Authorities say they're still working to find those involved in a burglary ring involved in thefts at more than 100 Portland businesses after two people were indicted Thursday in connection with the spree.

Meet Spot, the agile mobile robot dog. This new four-legged friend will soon help keep communities safe during dangerous missions.

The Boston Dynamics robot, model name Spot, will join six older robot models already assigned to the Metro Explosives Disposal Unit, a group of 16 bomb technicians and seven K-9 teams from police agencies across the Portland area. Similar robots have sparked controversy elsewhere.
