Public Safety Capabilities
Spot is a flexible platform that can be easily deployed in a variety of environments and hazardous situations.
Detect Hazardous Materials
Deploy Spot with specialized sensors to detect radiological and nuclear material, toxic gases, and other hazardous materials. Spot helps field operators identify and assess Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosives (CBRNE) threats from a safe stand-off distance, traversing unpredictable terrain and collecting data about the risk.
Investigate Suspicious Packages
Investigate suspicious packages and suspected explosives with Spot while maintaining a safe perimeter. Integrate sensors to measure oxygen levels of potentially explosive environments or detect explosive materials. Equipped with cameras, x-ray devices, and the Spot Arm, Spot enables Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) technicians to safely inspect suspicious packages.
De-escalate Hostage Scenarios
Spot can gather valuable information to support response teams and facilitate remote negotiations, reducing risk to first responders and the public. In active shooter or hostage situations, Spot can help first responders establish visual and two-way communications, so they can gather the information needed to de-escalate the situation and keep officers and bystanders out of harm’s way.

Solution Features
MOBILITY
Robots have been used by public safety professionals for decades, but Spot is more mobile than earlier generations. Spot can climb stairs, open doors, and move fluidly over rough or uneven terrain. When seconds count, first responders can send Spot into the field fast to help resolve the situation as quickly and safely as possible.
Reliability
Spot is now deployed on hundreds of sites, from nuclear plants to construction projects, to collect data and automate inspection in remote and hazardous locations. Whether working alongside operations staff on the plant floor or aiding first responders out in our communities, Spot helps keep people out of harm’s way.
FLEXIBILITY
Spot is easily deployed in a variety of environments and hazardous situations to reduce risk. The robot can be customized to assess hazmat risks, inspect suspected explosives, and enable communication and data gathering in tense situations.
TELEOPERATIONS
Field operators can work at a safe distance from the tablet interface or remotely pilot Spot using web-based control software to teleoperate the robot and review data in real-time. Using the Spot Arm, operators can maneuver its in-gripper LED illuminator and 4K camera to grasp and move objects, allowing for remote inspection of suspicious materials.
