Departments and agencies around the world have started deploying agile mobile robots to keep police officers out of harm’s way. Boston Dynamics’ Spot enables incident commanders to quickly investigate, assess and de-escalate dangerous or hazardous scenarios. Joined by our partners FLYMOTION, as well as Spot user Lt. Francis Rego of the Miami-Dade Police Department Special Response Team, we will highlight real-use cases where robots were instrumental in safely ending a dangerous scenario.
In this webinar you will learn:
- How robots can quickly deploy and traverse challenging environments.
- How Spot’s modular mission payloads and partner ecosystem aid in responding to dangerous and hazardous situations.
- Ways that robots can help gain entry through closed doors and enable safer investigation of suspicious packages.
