Boston Dynamics Spot expands sensing, software features
Summary
Long term, the company continues to support the goal of improving human-robot interactions on sites around the world and the longer-term journey toward general-purpose robots. The first is a thermal camera to detect overheating equipment, the second is an acoustic imager that provides alerts about abnormal noise readings (like air leaks) with a Fluke SV600 payload. Similarly, the system can leverage acoustic data from a Fluke SV600 payload and alert when sound levels exceed set limits. When the robot identifies a moving object in its path, it will signal, keep a safe distance, and exercise increased caution as it continues on its mission. This release also brings new gaits to the robot that enable it to better handle slippery floors and react if the traction for any of its legs is lost.
