SPOT ARM

Boston Dynamics Spot Arm enables users to act on data insights and perform physical work in people-centric environments.
Description

SPOT ARM

Meet the mobile robot arm designed to enable you to act on data insights and perform real, physical work in human-centric environments. Equipped to operate through both semi-autonomous actions and telemanipulation, the arm will open doors, pick, place, push, or drag objects, and adapt to new situations at the push of a button or swipe of a screen.

 

TABLET BEHAVIORS

GRASPING, PICKING, PLACING
Manually or semi-autonomously grasp, lift, carry, place, and drag a wide variety of objects, including valve handles, door knobs, tools, etc.

CONSTRAINED MANIPULATION
Semi-autonomously manipulate objects with constrained movement (e.g. turn valves, pull levers, open drawers, etc.).

DOOR OPENING
Semi-autonomously turn handles and open standard push and pull doors.

 

API OPTIONS

JOINT-SPACE CONTROL

  • Specify joint angles and velocities
  • Move to predefined configurations

END-EFFECTOR CONTROL

  • Specify position, velocity, and force trajectories in Cartesian space
  • Point the end-effector at a point in the world
  • Perform tasks in contact with the environment (e.g. drawing, wiping, etc.)
