Spot

Spot is Boston Dynamics' quadruped mobile robot, officially described as an "agile mobile robot for dynamic sensing and industrial inspection". It is Boston Dynamics' commercial flagship product line for industrial and enterprise deployments. Capabilities: dynamic sensing and autonomous industrial inspection across thermal, visual, acoustic, and perimeter inspection use cases; a payload ecosystem that expands its functionality with additional sensors and hardware; and the Spot SDK for developing custom payloads and applications. Spot Care provides long-term service and reliability support. Ecosystem: in Google DeepMind's Gemini Robotics 2 announcement (July 30, 2026), Gemini Robotics ER 2 orchestrates Spot APIs (navigation, manipulator movement) to create an interactive robot that fetches objects on natural-language commands, demonstrating embodied reasoning on commercial quadruped hardware.
