Spot
Spot is a quadruped mobile robot for autonomous inspection, sensing, data capture, and remote operation.
Spot is a mobile robot used to inspect industrial sites, construction projects, hazardous areas, research facilities, and government locations. It can carry sensors and other payloads, run manual or autonomous missions, collect visual and thermal data, and connect with fleet-management software.
Organizations can add the Spot Arm, cameras, scanners, communications equipment, and other payloads. Boston Dynamics sells Spot through its sales team rather than publishing a public purchase price; accessories, software, support, training, and service plans may cost extra.
Features
- Runs manual and autonomous inspection missions
- Navigates around obstacles and dynamically replans routes
- Collects photos, thermal images, point clouds, and other site data
- Supports up to 14 kg of payload capacity
- Provides APIs and hardware interfaces for custom integrations
- Can autonomously charge and resume missions with a dock
- Supports fleet management through Orbit
- Supports the Spot Arm and third-party sensor payloads
Use cases
- Automate routine equipment inspections in factories and energy facilities
- Monitor construction progress and create digital-twin data
- Inspect hazardous or remote areas without sending workers inside
- Collect repeatable visual, thermal, acoustic, or laser-scan data
- Develop robotic mobility and manipulation applications in research labs
- Investigate public-safety incidents from a remote location
