American robot company that attracted attention with the acquisition of Hyundai Motor Company ‘Boston Dynamics’. In particular, among various robot technologies, the robot that gained popularity as a so-called’robot dog’ is a four-legged walking robot. ‘Spot’Was.
But today (3rd) at 1 a.m., Boston Dynamics released an upgraded spot through the official YouTube. Let’s take a look at the transformation of Spot that has been upgraded to three and has come to our side in a smarter way.
Boston Dynamics ‘Spot enterprise’,’Scout’,’Spot arm’Showed off.
First,’Spot enterprise’ has its own charging system. By automating the charging function, when the battery runs out, the spot moves to the charging dock by itself. Since charging is possible without human assistance in situations where charging is necessary, it can be actively used in hazardous industrial and disaster sites. In addition to charging, it has a function to backup and transfer data.
In addition, it is possible to quickly transmit data collected while performing missions in the field. In addition, communication connection using wireless LAN was supported, and the range of Wi-Fi connection was extended.
Next,’Scout’ is a product equipped with web-based software so that you can remotely operate Spot anytime, anywhere. Since the robot can be operated remotely, it is possible to work through the spot even in a dangerous area where human access is impossible.
Using the remote assistance function, the spot can move according to pre-programmed commands, and it can be controlled manually. In particular, it is possible to capture images or thermal data of the work area using a thermal imaging camera mounted on the spot.
Finally, the’Spot arm’ is a form in which an arm is added to the existing spot. Boston Dynamics introduced a more completely upgraded robot by adding an arm to the existing spot.
Spot can hold the doorknob and open the door by itself, as well as pick up items that have fallen to the ground and organize them. By adding an arm to the spot, it is possible to perform a variety of physical manipulations that only humans were able to do, such as holding and carrying objects, which doubled its utilization.
You can even rotate the rope by yourself and use a tremendous sense of balance to do all the delicate movements beyond the rope without any problem. (If three spots gather, you can play on your own…)
In addition to jumping rope, Spot’s arm can be moved with great precision, allowing all sophisticated tasks such as opening and closing small valves in industrial sites. Spot’s arm can be operated both remotely and autonomously through a tablet.
Even with the explanation so far, many people will be wondering how much the spot is and where to buy it.
If you want to have a lot of useful spots close to you and want to be with you, you can purchase them right now through the Boston Dynamics official website. In particular, if you are curious about the newly added spot arm function, you can customize it by adding options.
