Boston Dynamics Robot Dog Work This Year

Boston Dynamics Robot Dog Spot, has been on duty for one year. This year, a total of hundreds of Spots have been sold all over the world. Interestingly, Boston Dynamics did not preset any application scenarios for Spot at the time. “It’s up to you to decide how to use it.” What did it do? There is a big rope skipping. Have a walk with beautiful women on the beach. There is also a dance of ghost animals in professional baseball games in Japan. Even being bought “pee beer”… Yes, that’s right, Spot was almost broken this year. But a robot dog priced at 530,000 yuan can be used far beyond becoming one of the most expensive toys. It also does a lot of business: Enter crime scenes, construction sites, power plants and mines… Spot has already shown its skills in hundreds of harsh environments and has begun to show its ability to control the world (bushi) little by little. Spot this year What business have you done? I won’t mention those who enter the house to enforce the law and enter the crime scene. The first is to conduct reconnaissance in some ultra-hazardous places where wheeled robots and drones are inaccessible. In Canada, Spot entered the world’s deepest base metal mine (Kid Creek Mine), went deep into the mining area to conduct safety inspections to protect miners and keep them away from potential dangers. No matter what kind of mining terrain, it can be easily controlled. In Ukraine, Spot entered the site of the Chernobyl nuclear accident, put on a radiation detection device on his back, and crossed the safety quarantine zone. In the deconstruction of the Chernobyl Sarcophagus (the sheltered structure of the nuclear power plant), it is used to regularly assess the evolving radiation pollution hazards. Because as everyone knows, compared with wheeled and crawler robots, the main advantage of Spot is its four small “claws”, which can significantly reduce the contact with the ground. Spot is also present in the substation of the US National Grid. Due to its extremely high cost of downtime and inaccessibility to humans during operation, a routine inspection of a high-voltage facility the size of a football field was left to it. And no robot has entered the place before. All kinds of dangerous places can be entered, not to mention ordinary construction sites. Spot is off the construction site! It can obtain data automatically, accurately and frequently, and provide the overall progress status of the construction site. At Foster & Partners, a world-renowned architectural planning company, people use Spot to monitor construction sites and scan existing conditions to support various renovation-related work. It can also be scanned after completion to compare with the design model. In addition, Spot has autonomous charging and remote operation capabilities, with a series of sensors that can act as eyes and ears, and perform routine inspections at remote production sites that are difficult for humans to access. BP sent it to the Mad Dog drilling platform nearly 200 miles offshore to help humans perform remote monitoring, avoid the risks and large costs of transporting workers back and forth into such harsh environments, and improve operational efficiency. Spot is there to undertake the tasks of daily facility inspections, including reading the readings and listening to whether there are any abnormalities in mechanical noise. … From mines, nuclear accident sites, offshore drilling platforms, to construction sites, crime scenes…Different positions and tasks, Spot’s figure is frequently active all over the world. It can be said that Spot is not only a smart tool, but also a valuable and good teammate. The ability of this Boston Power Dog is amazed by more people, so a variety of “fake products” have also appeared. However, I don’t know if their capabilities can match or surpass Spot. And for Spot’s first anniversary of working as a part-timer, Boston Dynamics also compiled a “performance review” film specifically for it: The above skills make it difficult for many people to conceal their love and excitement, and sigh with all kinds of Spot and yyds! But to say that its most favorite skill is the pee beer trained by the tubing brother Michael Reeves. I don’t know what surprises this Boston Power Dog can bring to everyone in the future~
