xTEF: From testing to market – the strategic role of TEFs in European Industry

Spot – Demonstration and Application Clarification

SPOT - Demonstration and Application Clarification -1

Service description

The service gives companies the opportunity to explore, test, and benchmark the quadruped mobile robot Boston Dynamics Spot for automated industrial inspection, thermal monitoring, acoustic leak detection, and AI surveillance in manufacturing environments. The focus is on live demonstration, technical sparring, payload integration, SLAM autonomous navigation, and dynamic obstacle avoidance in environments with uneven terrain, stairs, or tight spaces where wheeled AGVs fail. The purpose is to provide manufacturing SMEs and plant managers with a validated business case, reducing manual inspection hours by up to 50 percent and removing personnel from hazardous plant zones.

Expected results:

A completed Spot demonstration with an assessment of the technology’s relevance for the customer’s use case and recommendations for further testing, development, or implementation. This de risks mobile robotics investment, enables automated routine inspection routines that reduce manual inspection hours by up to 50 percent, and builds on proven test deployments in power generation, processing plants, and construction environments.

Methodology:

The service is delivered as a demonstration and clarification process including dialogue on the use case, planning and execution of a relevant Spot demonstration, joint assessment of application possibilities, and delivery of recommendations for next steps.

Target:

Manufacturing, Inspection and maintenance, Human-Robot Interaction, Education and demonstration, Other sectors needing mobile robot technology
