Boston Dynamics has found a way to use robotic dogs without terrifying people. The maker of "Spot" -- a 71.7-pound, 33.1-inch-tall, four-legged robot -- has teamed up with DroneDeploy, a drone software provider, and Brasfield & Gorrie, one of the nation's largest privately held construction firms, to use the robots to automate construction documentation. "It definitely gets a lot of stares, I don't think out of fear but more out of shock and awe," said Jake Lovelace, a Brasfield & Gorrie innovation specialist. Outfitted with a 360-degree camera, Spot allows workers to autonomously capture data from building interiors and take close-up photos to document the progress a project has made for the bid process or inspection. It's built so that it can navigate rough terrain and also has sensors for noise, carbon dioxide and particulate levels, making it unnecessary for humans to risk going into potentially unsafe places, Lovelace said.
