Unlock new opportunities and develop novel applications with robots for applied research.
On-demand Webinar - Built for Innovation: Spot for Academia and Research
Trusted by industry-leading organizations around the world
The next generation of mobility, sensing, and manipulation is here. We solved the tough robotics challenges out of the box so you can focus on solving the tough challenges in your industry.
Spot can go places other robots for research applications can’t—without requiring you to spend research time developing or maintaining custom navigation and locomotion systems.
The Reinforcement Learning Research Kit provides joint-level API access and a ready-to-use simulation environment for developers, in collaboration with NVIDIA.
Developers have access to the broader autonomous navigation API to create sophisticated autonomy solutions.
The Spot Arm allows the robot to more directly interact with the world around it, opening up new practical functions.
Customize Spot to solve your operation’s obstacles with payloads and software integrations for sensing, communications, controls, and more.
