If you’ve been around the internet for some time, then you probably know about Boston Dynamics’ creepy yet cute robotic dog, “Spot”. We have seen this robot dog open doors, help frontliners to combat COVID-19, and even pull a “rickshaw”. Now, car-manufacturers, Ford has deployed these robots to map their manufacturing facility.
Apart from saving precious time, the two dogs could also help Ford to save a lot of cash. Currently, as per the company, Ford spends around $300,000 to scan and make a 3D map of a facility. However, the company predicts that if these robots work well, they could scan all their facilities in a quarter of that huge amount.
