Boston Dynamics
There are an estimated 30,000 instances of arc flash each year in the United States alone, and one to two fatalities occur daily in North America. Ontario Power Generation (OPG) has five Boston Dynamics’ Spot robots deployed throughout their Enterprise Innovation division. In 2022, the team sought to see if Spot’s dexterous arm could be used to assist in tripping and racking out a 600 volt breaker—an activity that is high risk for arc flash. Now, Boston Dynamics engineers have taken this application to the next level by fully automating the procedure. Spot can perform the entire operation autonomously, with a human issuing high level commands safely out of harm’s way.

Why experts wear safety glasses for interviews?
Utility-Spot is far more interesting than Dancing-Spot.
Install an m12 tool & go!
Maybe I'm misunderstanding something, but why is a circuit breaker located in a radiation hazard area?
What we really need is a communication between multiple robots to accomplish tasks.
Imagine two spots working the tools with big dog carrying a bunch of tools to repair major systems.
Hiii vajira jayasinghe…
I ❤ Spot
As sick as this is I just dont think automation is the key starting point for spot. I think 360 vr, point and move, real time arm articulation is the best way to get data for the algorithms you guys use.
Robots are replaceable, and humans' lives are not.
Fantasztikus.👏
I would love to see a quick disconnect attachment for the spot arm… so it can swap tool quickly and pricisly…
Watching Spot evolve over the years has been really cool. I remember back when Boston Dynamics was just making big clunky robots that could walk or run around and not really do much else, they were still really cool for their time, but they’ve developed so much now
Test spot in Ukraine power plant
Hello the Master Class for the team Boston Dynamique 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
i did the hv rack out course, was 5 x days. scared the shit out of me and didnt do the required houts to get the lisense
i was a 12/24v auto elec working in the water industry
<3 I am so obsessed with Boston Dynamics!!! Keep it up
Nice, immer wieder interessant. 🙁 bin 50 Jahre zu früh geboren und hätte gern zu euch gehört …
Why wouldn’t the arm just spin instead of ratchet the socket out? Seems like a waste of time and complexity.
That's nice how he can protect workers. Now, where's my consumer-tier Spot to make me a coffee and save me 5 minutes of time? ;]
One step closer to the movie Wall-e…
We'll need lots of robot in Ukraine to remove the unexploded bombs, and these seen the best to accomplish that.
The arm/hand can spin 360° ? but it has to learn a ratcheting motion ?
Were the safety glasses needed during the interview? 😂
Vay be, fakir ülkelerdeki harcanabilir hayatlar (!) yerine robot kullanmak. Pahalıya gelmez mi?
Mike and Vajira should have said “ I used to work here”
Dang robots took our jobs
1:03 ha ha
Какая практическая польза от этого Спота сейчас? По-моему никакой кроме рекламы BD
the double glasses is hilarious
