Along with Spot Enterprise, Boston Dynamics announced a browser-based system called Scout, which allows users to operate Spot remotely. It allows people to control the robot manually or perform pre-programmed autonomous actions with a simple user interface.
The company also announced the Spot Arm, a robotic arm that can grab, lift, carry, place and drag a variety of objects manually or semi-autonomously. The arm can help Spot to open and close valves, turn handles and knobs and pull levers, which will allow doors to open. The robot can also be equipped with a thermal image load with a 30x optical zoom.
Boston Dynamics says it has sold more than 400 Spot Explorers since it opened commercial sales in June. Although she is selling the robots only to companies for now, she plans to make Spot available for home use someday.
