Spot watches its step

Nov 14, 2024

On a typical day, our customers are operating the Spot® robot in factories, foundries, substations, sub basements, and beyond. Spot encounters all kinds of obstacles and environmental changes, but it still needs to safely complete its mission without getting stuck, falling, or breaking anything. While there are challenges and obstacles that we can anticipate and plan for—like stairs or forklifts—there are many more that are difficult to predict. To help tackle these edge cases, we used AI foundation models to give Spot a better semantic understanding of the world.
