It can travel roughly 24 kilometers (15 miles)      on a single charge and cancarry items up to about 45      kilograms (100 pounds) in weight.    <\/p>\n<p>      Handle applies dynamics similar to those found in its      quadruped and biped predecessors from Boston Dynamics. Unlike      those, though, it only has 10 actuated joints, which makes it      less complex, yet it is also more robust, with the same      jointed movement ability as humans.    <\/p>\n<p>      The addition of wheels allows Handle to move very efficiently      across virtually all flat surfaces. Because it has both legs      and wheels, the robot essentially has the best of both      worldsand can go and move anywhere with ease. It can      even carry heavier objects with better stability.    <\/p>\n<p>      Earlier, a       leaked video from Boston Dynamics gave us a glimpse of      what Handle could do by demonstrating its impressive      flexibility and balance.
