Spot®
Automate sensing and inspection, capture limitless data, and explore without boundaries.
Transformative Mobility
Transformative Mobility
Spot is an agile mobile robot that navigates terrain with unprecedented mobility, allowing you to automate routine inspection tasks and data capture safely, accurately, and frequently.
The results? Safer, more efficient and more predictable operations.
Strong
Carry and power up to 14kg of inspection equipment.
Easy to Control
Control the robot from afar using an intuitive tablet application and built-in stereo cameras.
Smart
Program repeatable autonomous missions to gather consistent data.
360° Perception
Use 360° perception to map terrain and avoid obstacles as they appear.
Balance Dynamically
Balance dynamically in uncertain surroundings with payloads of up to 14kg.
Mobile
Cruise over loose gravel, grass, curbs, and stairs.
Pre-Built Solutions
Utilize pre-built solutions from an existing network of third-party software and hardware providers.
Attach and Integrate
Attach and integrate unique outside hardware using mounting rails and payload ports.
Use the SDK
Use the Software Development Kit (SDK) to create custom controls, program autonomous missions, and integrate sensor inputs into data analysis tools.
“There are thousands of pounds of pressurized combustible material out there. High-pressure oil and gas can create risks for people working in close proximity. If we could have a robot with the proper sensors out there, we’d much rather do that.”
Adam Ballard, Facilities Technology Manager, bp
“Every 12 hours, we follow the same path through the plant, and we’re assessing situational awareness. It’s important to communicate across shift changes and make sure you’re handing off critical information. Spot is going to capture things we may not notice or that we're not always around to see.”
Christopher Phillips, Production Technician, Woodside
“I picked Spot because the platform exceeded other solutions we saw on the market. With its ability to move through a construction environment, and then, its ability to integrate, we could access the platform’s software and build with APIs if we needed to.”
Tristen Magallanes, Innovation Analyst, Swinerton
Industries
Manufacturing
