Government & Public Safety

Spot enables operators to remotely investigate and de-escalate hazardous situations.

Designed to keep people safe

Robots have been used in government and public safety applications for decades but Spot’s unmatched mobility and intuitive interface is changing incident response for departments in the field today.

Operational safety for the public’s peace of mind

Boston Dynamics has built Spot to a high standard of agility, mobile manipulation, and ease of use—all of which are requirements for government fieldwork. See how Spot puts them to use:

Reduce risk to personnel with remote operation.

Your operators can stay safe with Spot on-hand to remotely investigate, assess, and de-escalate tense or hazardous situations. Customizable payloads, such as an integrated arm or additional sensors, can provide more situational awareness and the ability to detect chemical, biological, or radiological hazards.

Public Safety: Deploy Spot First for Crucial Intel

Spot provides important situational awareness to responding law enforcement agents. Its mobility allows it to be quickly deployed, and on-board cameras provide valuable information back to officers. Common use cases include armed barricaded suspects, suspicious package investigations, and other hazards.

CBRN Threat Response: Efficiently Identify Hazards

In addition to increased standoff distance in potentially dangerous scenarios, Spot can be equipped with sensors to detect chemical, biological, or radiological threats. Spot’s mobility allows firefighters to send the robot in to assess the situation, and provide valuable decision-making information to tactical commanders.

Explosive Ordnance Disposal & Investigation

Keep people out of harm’s way while assessing and rendering safe potentially explosive threats from a distance. Spot as a tool for EOD helps reduce operator risk in render safe scenarios. Quick to deploy, Spot makes first contact with a suspicious package or IED, enabling operators to identify threats and determine next steps remotely.

Government & Public Safety Kit

Spot helps reduce risk in potentially dangerous scenarios. Enable first responders to effectively assess and de-escalate tense or hazardous situations from a safe distance.

ELP Disruptor Integration Spot X-DiS: Innovative disruptor integration for the Spot walking robot

ELP Disruptor Integration Spot X-DiS

Localize, identify and disarm

The agile Spot walking robot from Boston Dynamics belongs to the latest generation of mobile remote-controlled robots and sets standards in terms of its impressive mobility and autonomy. It masters stairs and uneven terrain with ease and always ensures stability and walking safety. Equipped with active stability control and integrated collision avoidance, Spot can also actively avoid obstacles. The development of the unique disarmament-specific Spot X-DiS accessory with support from Boston Dynamics now extends the application possibilities of the versatile Spot system into the field of bomb disposal.

Ready for use in just a few minutes

This patented disruptor integration development, consisting of a variable disruptor mount, an innovative laser aiming device with radio ignition system, a chassis system box and a robust transport and storage case, is ready for use in just a few minutes. Operators have full control at all times using a portable controller tablet and can precisely assess the threat situation from a safe distance.

Flexibility and range

The unique Disruptor Integration Spot XDiS can either be mounted directly on the Spot walking robot or used with the robust gripper mount to achieve better reach in specific areas. Thanks to the enormous flexibility of the Spot arm, potentially explosive objects can be located and defused even in hard-to-reach places such as aircraft luggage racks, vehicle underbodies, niches, pipes, etc….

Reliable control even with poor signal propagation

The separately available MPU5-MANET from Persistent Systems enables reliable operability even in environments with poor signal propagation, such as tunnels or urban terrain.

Maximum safety thanks to state-of-the-art development

The combination of innovative development, state-of-the-art remote control and reliable disruptor technology significantly reduces deployment times and ensures greater safety in potentially dangerous situations. This Spot X-DiS solution therefore represents a significant improvement in deployment scenarios where safety, mobility, autonomy and reliability are required.

Cooperation for more security

As the exclusive technology partner of Boston Dynamics in the public safety sector in Europe, we receive special support. This partnership allows us to not only customize accessories for defusers and special forces, but also to seamlessly integrate them into Spot’s hardware and software.
