Meet Scan’s Best Friend

Unleash more productivity with a clear and continuous picture of progress on your job site with Spot — the autonomous construction robotics solution.

Trimble and Spot the Robot: Solution At a Glance

Trimble X7 Laser Scanner

Easily collect highly accurate point cloud information and 3D imagery to compare against CAD/BIM models for use in Design Validation, Progress Monitoring, Deviation & Surface Analysis, and Clash Detection.

Spot Defender

Safely Mount the X7 Laser Scanner to Spot the robot, while providing lateral protection for the Trimble X7 Scanner and the Spot robot in case of a fall.

Velodyne LiDAR Puck

The Velodyne LiDAR enhances the range and accuracy of Spot’s autonomy system for use on large sites and is one-half of the Enhanced Autonomy Package.

Boston Dynamics Spot CORE

Spot CORE provides dedicated processing for applications requiring on-robot computation and is one-half of the Enhanced Autonomy Package.

Boston Dynamics Spot Enterprise Robot

Spot Enterprise comes equipped with self-charging capabilities and the Spot Dock, allowing it to perform longer inspection tasks and data collection missions with little to no human interaction.

Spot Dock

The Spot Dock is a self-charging station for Spot Enterprise that transforms the robot into a truly autonomous remote inspection and 3D capture tool.

Features and Benefits

Discover the advantages of robotics in construction.

Autonomous Scanning Operation

Enable the collection of consistent and reliable data for improved production and quality control monitoring with Spot the robot. Document change and perform design validation to ensure the as-built condition matches the as-designed intent.

Safe Scanning, Continuously

Send the Spot robot and the X7 laser scanner into unsafe conditions to perform dirty, dull, or dangerous tasks. Improve job site safety and address labor shortages.

Automated Scan Registration in the Field

In-field registration with Trimble FieldLink software ensures the right data is captured the first time. Perform real-time design validation workflows such as scan-to-model comparisons and surface analysis inspections to make immediate decisions in the field without leaving the job site.

Integrated Docking Station

A self-charging station for Spot transforms the robot into a truly autonomous remote inspection tool. Utilize multiple docks to facilitate long missions on remote sites. With built-in dock detection, Spot will automatically recognize where to dock to charge Spot and the X7 laser scanner.

Scan Data Upload

A built-in Gigabit Ethernet connection in the docking station enables the fast offload of registered scan data from the X7 laser scanner. Immediately access scan data at the end of a mission or post to a cloud sharing platform to perform design validation analysis.

Integrated Ruggedized Tablet

A ruggedized Trimble tablet allows you to control Spot and the X7 laser scanner through one device. Use the tablet to define a mission for Spot, set scanning parameters for the X7, perform in-field registration, design validation, and access Trimble Connect for project communication and collaboration tools.
