We have already covered the Spot robot from Boston Dynamics used by many businesses to automate certain tasks. Mariana Minerals which is a software first mining company uses data sources from the field to automate their operations. They use Spot at Copper One facility in Utah to help capture their required data. It can do inspects across the plant. It gets operators off tedious tasks. It can also remove people from hazardous environments.
Spot can also be used with a variety of sensors to capture data. The above video shows it in action.
