The dog-shaped Spot robot from Boston Dynamics will be available next year with a Trimble laser scanner and GNSS antenna built in, for an out-of-the box autonomous reality capture on jobsites.
“Ideas and solutions are the easy part,” says Ricardo Khan, senior director of innovation at Mortenson Construction. It’s “the process” that is the real challenge. Khan’s midday keynote captured one of the key themes of the second day of the virtual ENR FutureTech conference—the need to identify the problems in your construction process before you start throwing technology at them
On DemandThis panel will look at several case studies from early users of the Boston Dynamics SPOT robot on jobsites, for everything from regular reality capture to advanced work-progress tracking. With new forms of automation coming to the construction process, contractors are finding clever uses for small, versatile robotics platforms like SPOT.
