National Highways, BAM Ritchies and Aecom are trialling Spot the robot dog, carrying geotechnical surveys across the South West.

BAM is using Spot the robot dog to survey former Cold War weapons testing facilities that are too hazardous for people to enter.

Mace and Heathrow Airport have deployed Boston Dynamics’ Spot the robot dog to provide 3D laser scans of a 1960s cargo tunnel at the airport.

Leica BLK laser scanners have gone autonomous and can fly and walk: the scanners have been fitted to Boston Dynamics’ Spot the robot dog and a drone.
