Leica Geosystems has announced the addition of the BLK ARC as the first certified reality capture device for Boston Dynamics’ Spot, marking a significant step forward in autonomous robotic capabilities. After four years of collaboration, Leica Geosystems and Boston Dynamics have integrated software that allows Spot to perform laser scanning as part of its mobile robot functions.
How the Integration Works
The BLK ARC is now fully integrated into the Spot app and Boston Dynamics’ Orbit robot fleet management software. Users can initiate an "Autowalk" in the Spot app, which includes a laser scanning workflow, all without human intervention. This new feature allows Spot to autonomously capture high-resolution 3D reality data as part of its operations, alongside other payloads and functionalities.
Autonomous Reality Capture
Spot’s ability to execute laser scanning missions autonomously expands its use cases in industries such as construction, surveying, and asset management. By automating reality capture through the BLK ARC, Spot provides precise and efficient data collection, helping customers streamline workflows and reduce the need for manual intervention.
Key Benefits
The collaboration between Leica Geosystems and Boston Dynamics showcases the future of autonomous robotics. Spot’s new laser scanning capabilities offer a revolutionary way to capture reality data with precision and ease, making it an invaluable tool in high-tech industries.
