Arm parts for the quadruped walking robot 'Spot' are now on sale, remote control function and enterprise version are also available
As an expansion part of the quadruped walking robot 'Spot' sold by Boston Dynamics, 'arms' attached to the head are now on sale. This gives Spot the freedom to open doors, move levers, and pick up falling objects.
In addition, 'Scout' for remote control from a browser and an enterprise version that can be charged by itself have also been announced.
Boston Dynamics has been testing quadruped robots with arm parts attached to their heads for some time, but there were no arm parts when 'Spot' was released.
Once again, a movie showing what you can do by attaching this arm part has been released.

Spot finds gloves falling on the snow
I stretched out my arm, put on my gloves and picked it up. Until now, you could only 'discover' in Spot, but now you can move the items at your feet by having your arms.

In fact, it was two other Spots that were spinning the skipping rope of the Spots.

In addition, the 'enterprise version' has also been added. The enterprise version adds self-charging and Spot Dock to the set, allowing you to do longer-term tasks and data collection missions with little human intervention.
In addition, a browser-based application 'Scout' that allows operators to remotely control the Spot Corps has also appeared. If you're using the enterprise version of Spot, you can instruct the Spot Dock to charge at the push of a button, or you can include charging as part of your mission.
For the enterprise version of Spot and Scout, please contact us for a quote.
