Boston Dynamics’ Spot robot made its way to Pompeii, Italy earlier this year, and now, it can autonomously ride elevators and open doors. MARS Laboratory partnered with Ontario Power Generation (OPG) and RMUS Canada to explore the capabilities of Boston Dynamics’ Spot robot for autonomous inspection as well as first response in the power sector.
In their first year of the project, the work of PhD student Christopher Baird included autonomous elevator riding and autonomous door opening (including proxy card access doors) as part of Autowalks, and even some autonomous firefighting. When Spot isn’t helping with building inspections, the robot can be found dancing to Rolling Stones’ Start Me Up.
