Grandstand Show

Boston Dynamics – Spot

Spot is a quadruped robot created by Boston Dynamics, the global leader in deploying highly mobile robots. Spot's design was inspired by nature and the robot's movement imitates four-legged animals, which means it can navigate difficult terrain and go places other robots cannot. In the real world, Spot is most often used for industrial equipment inspections in places like manufacturing facilities, power plants, refineries, and more. It's also used by bomb squads and fire departments for public safety applications, and as a research and education tool in university classrooms all over the world. But at the Calgary Stampede, visitors will see a much more fun side of Boston Dynamics' research, as the robots will be cutting loose and showing off some dance moves during the nightly Grandstand Show!
