The spot robot Spot called police and patrolled New York calls

Spot, the famed Boston Dynamic Quadruped Robot, has also been helping patrol New York calls. This model was announced several times by the new users that it was given. This year, for example, the pandemic brand was used to assist in remote medical examinations in EU hospitals and to help users maintain the recommended social distance in the parks of Singapore.

In this case, from the New York Post periodical, the robot compartment deploys space to be moved by the Bronx calls, in the marking of a home alarm that is located in an area that is under construction. The cuadrupedo, in blue and black tones, travels with speed on the road accompanying the police.

The robot, which is currently in the testing phase, is equipped with hatches and cameras that are transmitted in real time. It also has a siren and a speaker from the cue can issue alert messages in case it is necessary. The model weighs 31 kilos and can move up to 5 km / h.

“This platform will save lives, protect people and protect agents, and this is our objective”, assured Frank Digiacomo, inspector of the NYPD’s Assistance Unit for Technical Assistance, information on the portal.

Do you also want to explore Marte?

At the annual conference of the American Geophysical Union (AGU), which took place in mid-December 2020, NASA / JPL-Caltech investigators announced an innovation to explore and communicate more about the Martian rhinoceroses. implies the use of autonomous cuadruped bases in Spot.

The specialists present their “marcians perrosianos” (MD, for their English flags), wat seuns van de cuatro patas, como la proxima evolution de la exploración planetaria. The prototype, which is called Au-Spot and is in the training phase, is an agile system with which to explore the surfaces that are difficult to access. The robots are lively, compact and fast moving in comparison with the Perseverance: they have 2.6% volume, 4.6% mass which is a vehicle that has 38 more wheels, can be explained in the presentation.

One of the motives for the cues is thought to utilize this type of device is that due to its structure having a capacity to move with facilities in difficult terrain, the mayor has the ability to recover and maneuver that the Rovers currently use NASA.

These vehicles are mainly limited to plan areas, but there are many regions in March that are interestingly known, only those that are accessible can cross a very irregular terrain and descend. The robots that train their adequacy for this type of surface, in addition, if they can, can be provided with facilities.

I breathe a sigh of relief

A fine of December’s broadcast a video donne to the models Spot, Atlas and Handle move to the rhythm of the song “Do you love me?” This is a clip that will not go unnoticed by the flexibility and coordination of the motion that exhibits these three robots of Boston Dynamics.
