Boston Dynamics starts selling its Spot robot — for $74,500
Boston Dynamics today opened commercial sales of Spot, its quadruped robot that can climb stairs and traverse rough terrain. Boston Dynamics will also be selling Spot payloads, and customers will get software updates when available.
Boston Dynamics highlighted how Spot has helped a few early adopters:
1- Saved approximately 20 hours of work per week by automating the capture of nearly 5,000 images weekly
2- Increased data-collection efficiency and safety in Hensel Phelps’ construction of Denver International Airport’s main terminal
3- Leveraged computer vision-based anomaly detection software to reduce human risk in potentially dangerous tasks
4- Autonomously navigated underground terrain with NASA Jet Propulsion Lab Team
