In the past, the only way to use laser scanners for reality capture on a construction site was to assign a worker to the task. But today, you can send in the Boston Dynamics Spot Mobile Robot instead. Just walk Spot through the project once to record your scanning mission, and Spot can repeat it as needed for ongoing progress monitoring and quality checks. Spot works with any FARO FocusS Laser Scanner and relies on FARO Trek 3D Laser Scanning Integration to enable autonomous scanning.
Business Value of FARO Trek

Trek Performance
Autonomous Mobile Scanning Solution
Enabled by Trek, the Boston Dynamics Spot Mobile Robot autonomously navigates busy and dynamic job sites, capturing highly accurate point clouds. The workflow leverages Spot’s Autowalk tablet software to record a mission path around the jobsite, designate scan locations and replay the mission as needed. Trek avoids new obstacles without direct human control and enables a repeatable, automated workflow for capturing spatially linked datasets over time.
