Spot is Boston Dynamics' commercial quadruped robot — a 12-DOF four-legged platform with 360° perception from five stereo camera pairs, built for autonomous industrial inspection, predictive maintenance and hazardous-area work. It carries 14kg of payload, walks at 1.6 m/s, climbs stairs and 300mm obstacles, handles ±30° slopes, and runs ~90 minutes per charge (60-min recharge, hot-swap batteries). IP54-rated for dust and rain, with a robust Python/C++ SDK and API. Over 1,500 units are in customer hands; base price $74,500.
