Boston Dynamics’ Spot Demo presented by Tim Dykstra

Spot is an agile, mobile robot that navigates the terrain with unprecedented mobility, allowing you to automate routine inspection tasks and data capture safely, accurately, and frequently.

Through remarkable advancements in robotics, the engineers behind Spot have built an easy-to-deploy solution for various inspection and data gathering tasks while navigating industrial environments with dog-like mobility. It can be trained to perform repeatable autonomous missions or controlled from afar by an operator using a web interface or tablet application and watching what Spot sees through its built-in stereo cameras since Spot can go where people go and wheeled robots and drones cannot, no site adaptation is required. It can climb and descend steep grades and stairs, step over rocks and curbs, keep steady on loose gravel and wet grass, circumvent obstacles in real-time with 360° perception, and right itself if it falls.
