As an official partner of Boston Dynamics, Intuitive Robots plays a pivotal role in the distribution and integration of the famous quadruped robot, Spot. Our innovative solutions harness the power of advanced robotics to enhance efficiency and safety in various industrial settings.

Automating Industrial Visual Inspection with Mobile Robotics

Spot is an autonomous and versatile quadruped robot designed by Boston Dynamics. Particularly agile, Spot can navigate challenging industrial environments (confined, hard-to-reach areas…) to autonomously collect data, especially visual data.
Thanks to the extensive data collected 24/7 by the robot, industrial operators can monitor the proper functioning of their production tools in real-time, thereby minimizing production downtime and keeping operators away from hazardous tasks.

Features and Images

Automate the capture of 360° photos and videos

Spot can carry various sensors and cameras to perform its inspections. The size and performance of the Ricoh Theta Z1 camera enable precise and high-definition 360° visual inspection. Unlike fixed sensors, the robot's mobility and autonomy combined with panoramic vision allows for a more extensive site inspection.

Analyze the photos using AI algorithms

The photos captured by the Ricoh Theta Z1 during Spot robot's autonomous missions are analyzed in real-time by AI algorithms we developed. Any detected anomaly (such as air or liquid leaks, cracks, fire…), even the smallest, immediately triggers an alert. The analysis of photos and videos can also be refined once the inspection is completed.

Use it whenever you want, wherever you are.

Thanks to an application developed by Intuitive Robots, the operator can remotely use the robot and the Ricoh Theta Z1 camera mounted on the back of the Spot robot to inspect specific industrial equipment and locate anomalies without having to go on-site. The camera is directly powered by the robot, no need to charge it.
