Spot visiting Norway - gaining high interest!
Boston Dynamic’s robot dog Spot has been in Norway for a few weeks and this ground breaking technology has gained a lot of attention and interest. The BuildingPoint team is working with our customers to help Spot create real value for the industry.
In the past weeks, we visited several construction sites to put Spot through real life cases, like tunnel scanning and autonomous scanning based on predefined missions. We will present results from this work shortly!
We also found time to bring Spot to Trimble User Days in Oslo! Check out the video we recorded at the conference.
We also took Spot to visit the offices of some of our largest customers in Norway, check out Sweco’s short video on LinkedIn!
MORE ABOUT SPOT
VIDEO DOCUMENTARY: Robot dog Spot from Boston Dynamics is used by Norwegian contractor LNS to make mining safer, more efficient and sustainable. See the film to learn HOW!
This short video documentary/report dives in to the ROI aspect of this Spot project - both in terms of cost savings and financial aspects, but also other, less quantifiable values realised through this project.
In Tana, way up north in Norway, almost as far north as you can get in Europe, it is common to see the Northern Lights. That green dancing light on the dark winter sky draws looks even from the locals, and particularly from visitors not used to the phenomenon.
Now, however, there is another possible explanation for the lights you see up in the mountains… It might also be Spot at work for LNS in an open pit mine in Tana!
As a contractor in mining and tunneling, maintaining safe operations is the no. 1 priority for LNS. However, increasing safety requirements puts business pressure on LNS, but it can also be an opportunity to innovate. Read about how Spot - the robot dog - will help LNS increase safety and productivity.
Norconsult AS and BuildingPoint Scandinavia took robot dog Spot to 4 different construction sites to see how it performs in difficult terrain, confined spaces and conditions that might be hazardous for people! Watch the video interview with Norconsult's Thomas Angeltveit to learn more!
Norway’s tunneling tradition goes back as early as 1879. However, technology has come a long way since the 19th century, and robot dog Spot is one of the most advanced and anticipated technologies to become available to improve how we do things. BuildingPoint joined Veidekke and the project team in charge of scanning and other tasks at the UDK 01 site for the Vestfoldbanen/Drammen-Kobbervikdalen – a railway tunnel project for Bane NOR to put Spot to the test!
Boston Dynamic’s robot dog Spot has been in Norway for a few weeks gaining a lot of attention and interest during the Trimble User Days in Oslo, and during customer visits…
