About Spot

Boston Dynamics' Spot is the most commercially successful quadruped robot in the world, with thousands of units deployed across industries. Standing 76 cm tall and weighing 32 kg, Spot features 12 degrees of freedom across four legs, enabling agile movement at 1.6 m/s over rough terrain, stairs, and slopes. The robot carries a 14 kg payload capacity and operates for approximately 90 minutes on a single charge. Spot is deployed for autonomous inspection at power plants, construction sites, oil rigs, and mines by companies including National Grid, BP, and Woodside Energy. The robot's five stereo camera pairs provide 360-degree perception for autonomous navigation. Boston Dynamics' Orbit fleet management software enables multi-robot coordination. Spot's open SDK supports custom payloads and third-party applications, making it the de facto standard platform for commercial quadruped robotics.
