REUTERS: Boston Dynamics' dog-like robot 'Spot' is learning new tricks.
"Several hours a day, several operators will walk the facility; read gauges; listen for noise that doesn't sound right; look out at the horizon for anomalies, boats that may not be caught on radar; look for sheens," Ballard said. Spot also has an integrated gas sensor that is programmed to shut the robot down if it detects a methane leak."We believe a lot of that up-front, remote work preparation can be done with a remotely-controlled robot... being able to pan, tilt, zoom and really understand the entire area in real conditions, real time," Ballard said.
