Introduction.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Robotics is advancing, both in the field of the dexterity to handle objects, and in the ability to move through human environments. Despite its current popularity, robotics is not a new phenomenon. Automatons have been installed in factories for several decades, and the use of algorithms by companies to optimize processes or tasks is becoming more and more widespread. What is certain is that recent years have seen notable advances in the fields of robotics, artificial intelligence and, within this, automatic learning or machine learning. All of this leads us to think that we are entering a new era of history in which these machines endowed with intelligence are going to monopolize a large part of the leading role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this context Spot is an agile mobile robot manufactured by Boston Dynamics capable of unprecedented mobility in a variety of terrains, allowing it to automate routine inspection tasks and data capture safely, accurately and frequently. Among their tasks are monitoring temperatures, checking for possible insects or detecting people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with sensors and cameras, the platform is available to take full advantage of its capabilities in various environments, such as monitoring public parks and nuclear power plants. If something unforeseen is found or it is decided to inspect an area more thoroughly, the staff can take remote control of the robot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The imitation of human intelligence allows automatons to process and analyze the information from the environment that they receive through sensors and cameras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Boston Dynamics company is a good example of the qualitative leap that robotics science is making. Their models are increasingly performing better in unstructured environments, such as overcoming obstacles and uneven terrain. An example of them is the Spot \u201ccyberdog\u201d, the first of its developments to go on sale, which is capable of moving at a speed of 1.6 meters per second, and moving around complicated places on all kinds of surfaces. In addition, if he falls or tips over, he is able to get up on his own, without help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The results? Safer, more efficient and predictable operations.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It is a robotic team that can be added additional tools as in the case of Hyundai. This company purchased this robot and equipped it with a special backpack with additional tools and capabilities that complement Spot’s versatility. It also has a thermal camera and an “artificial intelligence processing service unit”, which gives the robot more intelligence and autonomy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
