It is the American robot manufacturers Boston dynamics that developed the robot whose movement pattern is similar to a dog and has an AI technology that teaches Spot to adapt to the terrain.
There are also plans to place a drone on the robot so it can fly over obstacles and to equip it with rescue equipment.
- Spot can be equipped with thermal camera, communication equipment, fire blanket and oxygen mask and so on.
Spot can carry up to 14 kg, says Nikolaos Petropoulos.
The robot has already moved in
After the earthquake on 18 May in LKAB's mine, major investigations were required and after the robot arrived at LKAB in September, the robot was quickly pulled out of service and examined the area.
With a battery life of 90 minutes and the ability to create your own map, Spot was used to investigate the affected area, but there are no plans for Spot to poke people from their jobs.
- Spot will never replace people.
Spot is another tool to make our lives easier and safer.
