The robot has been upgraded to be more efficient in industrial settings.
As such, the team has redesigned some of Spot’s hardware and added new robot behaviors to reshape how Spot“It’s really important that Spot behaves in a way that people expect and understand. To do that, we've enhanced the robot to include an audio and visual signaling system. We've also added an emergency stop button on the robot for increased safety,” reads the blog.
The new elements are engineered to provide enhanced safety and awareness for people working near the robot in industrial settings. The goal is to ensure people near the robot know what to expect. Therefore, the system comes pre-configured with light patterns and tones that will alert workers that Spot is performing actions in the area.“In its most stable gait, crawl, Spot will move one leg at a time and stay close to the ground to keep upright on slippery surfaces. Even in normal walk mode, Spot is now better able to catch itself when it slips,” reads the blog.
Ultimately Boston Dynamics is focused on building robots that improve the lives of workers everywhere. “It’s one thing to build a cool robot, but it’s another thing entirely to make a robot that’s actually useful in the real world,” concludes“Our hope is these enhancements will improve our human-robot interactions on sites around the world, supporting our longer-term journey toward general purpose robots.”
