Possible applications in the field of occupational health and safety

This intelligent integration of robots and advanced automation technology marks a significant transformation in the way companies can design and control processes.

Agile, efficient and flexible.

Possible applications in the field of occupational health and safety

Thanks to its advanced sensor platform, Spot offers a wide range of applications in occupational safety. It detects and monitors potentially dangerous situations, collects high-precision data for monitoring machines, systems and structures and thus reduces risks in areas that are difficult or dangerous for people to access. It enables continuous monitoring of working environments in order to detect accidents at an early stage and take preventive measures. Overall, Spot is a valuable partner for occupational safety, which can be significantly improved.

Thermal detection and visual inspection

With the integrated CAM+ID thermal imaging camera, Spot® is able to reliably detect overheating in tanks, machines or electrical conductors during autowalk missions or thermal inspections, for example. This function is crucial, as routine thermal inspections are an essential part of preventive maintenance and ensure safety standards. As soon as predefined areas of interest or alarm thresholds are exceeded, Spot® immediately sends alerts via email and to the Scout software, or creates work orders via the asset management platform of your choice.

The pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera allows users to remotely check analog measuring devices for pressure, flow and temperature measurement as well as many other parameters. Thanks to the impressive 30x optical zoom lens, details can be captured precisely. The data collected helps to detect anomalies such as excessive heat development, leaks or contamination at an early stage and to take appropriate measures.

Maximum efficiency with Spot® Docking Station

Spot® has an autonomous self-charging function that enables the robot to work autonomously for long periods of time. This means that extensive inspection missions can be carried out without interruptions.

After mission completion, all collected data can be easily downloaded via the dock during the loading process to ensure seamless data transfer and processing.

Spot® EAP2

Included in the package

The Spot® EAP 2 (Extended Autonomy Package) offers various improvements in the areas of autonomy, calculations and communication on the Spot® platform. In particular, the range and precision of autonomous navigation over large areas and changing positions are improved. The Spot® 3D base cameras have an effective range of 4 meters for autonomous mapping.

By using the Velodyne VLP-16 LIDAR, this range can be extended to up to 100 meters. The integrated Spot® CORE I/O processor and the compact NVIDIA Jetson Xavier NX system-on-module support high-resolution sensors that allow Spot® to create larger and more precise maps or move autonomously outdoors and over large areas. The EAP 2 enables Spot® to efficiently and reliably avoid obstacles, plan optimal routes and navigate safely on uneven and changing surfaces.

Especially in environments where physical features for navigation are missing, this package proves to be extremely beneficial, as Spot® is able to determine exact positions on an Autowalk map and locate itself precisely even in these areas.

LIDAR improves range and therefore autonomy
Compact CPU and GPU with customizable inputs and outputs
Integrated 5G/LTE modem with CBRS support for private networks and option to use AT&T's public network
A computer vision model is supplied
5, 12, and 24V regulated current output
RJ45 standard Ethernet adapter

Spot® Dock

Included in the package

Boston Dynamics Spot® Dock is an innovative solution for autonomous inspection. With this technology, it is possible to transform any Spot® walking robot into an enduring inspection device. The Spot® Dock not only enables automatic self-charging of the robot, but also offers greater reliability during data collection operations and routine inspections.

Thanks to the integrated dock detection system, Spot® can return to the charging station independently either via a tablet or via the API interface. This significantly reduces the operating effort and increases efficiency in various areas of application. Spot® can therefore be operated autonomously and recharge its battery automatically.

Another advantage of the Spot® Dock is the ability to realize longer deployments, especially in remote environments. By placing multiple docks on site, equipped with unique reference points, Spot® can work flexibly in environments with multiple charging stations. This enables longer operating times without manual loading processes - making unlimited autonomous inspections feasible.

Overall, the Boston Dynamics Spot® Dock offers an innovative solution for optimized work processes and gives you control over your inspection requirements.

Spot® Cam+IR

Included in the package

With its powerful features, the Spot® CAM+IR turns Spot® into a versatile exploration tool.

The pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera with 30x optical zoom allows the user to view important inspection details from a distance. To capture specific thermal images, the Spot® CAM+IR is equipped with an integrated radiometric thermal imaging camera. With the 360° panoramic color camera, operators have a broad overview of the surroundings and thus ensure seamless monitoring.

The protected cabling and sealed electronics ensure the longevity of the device and therefore reliable inspections - even in challenging environments. The Spot® CAM+IR is equipped with a roll cage to protect it from falls. The USB port allows users to save image data and thus save important information for later analysis.

The Spot® CAM+IR has two loudspeakers and a microphone, allowing direct interaction with the action if required. Any instructions or information can be easily communicated. Acoustic inspections are possible with the highly sensitive microphone, as it is able to detect very quiet noises.

The Spot® CAM+IR can also be used in dark environments - four pairs of LEDs provide sufficient lighting. It also offers flexible configuration options for front or rear mounting, depending on the requirements of your inspection project.

The Spot® CAM+IR is therefore a versatile inspection tool that enables Spot® to monitor remote or hazardous environments and focus on key inspection details.

Spot® ORBIT

Optional

ORBIT 5.1 is the latest version of the web-based fleet management software, which has been specially developed for industrial monitoring tasks. The update combines improved camera hardware with extended data analysis and is primarily aimed at operators of large and geographically distributed systems. The data captured by Spot is no longer used purely for documentation purposes. Instead, algorithms for automatic anomaly detection are used to promptly identify deviations in image, temperature or audio data. Orbit acts as an interface between the physical sensor data and digital maintenance and operating processes. Relevant anomalies are automatically detected and reported without the need for extensive manual evaluations. If the system detects potential danger zones, route adjustments can be sent directly to the robot fleet.

As a central platform for remote access, Orbit enables the monitoring of the system status, the analysis of maintenance requirements and the evaluation of warning messages. The software can be integrated into existing data and documentation systems.

Orbit also supports remote control of Spot. Users can view live camera images, navigate the robot through systems and carry out sensor-based inspections from a distance. Orbit creates a visual archive of system statuses for long-term evaluation. An image-language model makes it easier to identify and classify maintenance instructions and potential problems.

For companies with multiple sites, Orbit provides central dashboards that consolidate data across all sites. This provides a consolidated overview of robot activities, system status and the operational use of the entire fleet.
