Paris Underground: Spot Inspects Transportation Infrastructure with RATP Group
Ғылым және технология
As the city of Paris sleeps, Spot is hard at work inspecting some of RATP Group's 35,000 civil works components. The RATP Group (Autonomous Parisian Transportation Administration), is a French state-owned public transport operator and maintainer for the Greater Paris area. With thousands of civil works to inspect each year, the company has turned to mobile robotics to inspect hard-to-reach and hazardous areas in order to keep employees out of harm's way.

Seeing the radio backpack on Spot, I can't help but wonder, why can't they build a servo-controlled flexible antenna into a tail? It could reposition the antenna in poor signal environments, use it for balance and also wag when it sees its mas.. er operator 🥰

From the engineering point of view it's easier and cheaper just to put additional antennas around the robot, also that way antennas are redundant. But the idea is definitely out of the box and that's something to admire :). If they ever make spot a tail add-on, throwing extra antenna on it isn't a bad idea, it just doesn't make sense to add a tail just for that one reason.

For mission critical devices, the less moving parts, the better. Servo-controlled antenna is one more piece of hardware that'll need to "work" when needed.

@@BHBalast solution to that is to put 2 smaller auxilliary antenne, one either side of the head to act as redundant antenne. additionally, these can then be angled to allow for optimal radio reception while the larger antenna at the rear acts as the primary antenna!

Great technology ...
At work we had Spot as a demo / trial for 2 weeks for the CRL project in NZ. It was returned as a worker called it the B word as a joke, and it starting acting erratic. Probably just a coincedence with programming... funny though. Ultimately it was returned as it wasn't consistent, needed too much assistance too.

Nice use of the SPOT, I personally think they could have done better with the sensor package and i what i think is a wireless package. Reason i am saying this is if they miniaturize the 2 packages the SPOT could go into more confined areas. Wonder if the SPOT could be reconfigured with better internal sensors to free up the package area.

Atlas can post marketing to 1000 social media platforms SIMULTANEOUSLY whilst reciting pre-written speeches about "togetherness" and "key performance indicators" at only 0.1% of the cost of the suit.

“Robots” are not the problem. Robots can be programmed to do many basic tasks and the main issue is that they will make some jobs redundant and/or mean people have to retrain to do new jobs. AI is the thing that *might* destroy us and it doesn't need robots to do it.

The job of the president isn't to shit on the country's citizen, and even if it were, this would make our protests even more legitimate.
