Customized inspection plans
Spot Autonomous Industrial InspectionThe Spot Autonomous Industrial Inspection Package was developed for special requirements. With its impressive performance and the included EAP2 Lidar sensor, Spot completes automated inspection routes, even around moving obstacles such as vehicles, while taking readings and collecting valuable data. Users have the flexibility to customize their schedules and create tailored inspection plans.
This versatile walking robot can be safely controlled from a tablet or remotely using the web-based "Scout" control software, with real-time data monitoring as a matter of course.

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.
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.
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.
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 packageThe 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.
Spot Dock
Included in the packageBoston Dynamics Spot Dock is an innovative solution for autonomous inspection. With this technology, it is possible to transform any Spot® mobile 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 packageWith 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.
Features
Spot SCOUT
OptionalSCOUT is a web-based application that has been specially developed for remote monitoring. With this control system, operators are able to carry out inspections in remote areas, large areas or systems without having to be on site in person. Users can choose to carry out pre-programmed, autonomous missions or steer the robot manually from the control station. Thanks to the Spot CAM+IR, the robot can be moved and positioned precisely, while real-time images, thermal imaging and audio data can be captured at the same time.
SCOUT helps to improve the safety and efficiency of inspection operations. Users can check measuring devices, machines and pipelines for anomalies such as corrosion or leaks. In addition, noise anomalies in machines can be detected at an early stage to identify signs of a malfunction. Problematic "hot spots" in tanks, machines or electrical cables can also be identified with the help of SCOUT. This makes it possible to penetrate areas that would pose a danger to the user.
If an operator encounters a leak or other problem, it is possible to send a link to the operations management for assessment. This means that immediate situation assessments and responses to incidents in remote or unmanned facilities can be made at any time from the operations center. This allows problems to be identified and rectified at an early stage before major failures occur.
