The company has published the footage on the global network.
We can see how the engineers decided to use two Spot robots to map the entire factory.
Until now, you had to use a camera and a tripod, and then walk around the facility for hours with them.
Now all you have to do is unleash the robotic dog, which will use its cameras to accurately image the entire object, and then its digital version will go to the designers. At the Van Dyke Transmission Plant, located in the suburbs of Detroit, there are currently two Spot robots.
One is called Spot and the other is Fluffy.
The engineers also used a smaller robot called Scouter.
In his opinion, it is to reach hard-to-reach places and map them.
The robots are equipped with five cameras, radar and batteries, which allow for about 2 hours of uninterrupted work. Ford representatives intend to use this type of devices more often.
Their capabilities will allow reorganization of works in factories and use their potential to increase production efficiency.
As a result, customers will be able to count on better quality parts, shorter waiting times for their production and, ultimately, faster delivery of ordered vehicles - another job for a four-legged robot from Boston Dynamics.
The Spot recently appeared at SpaceX in Boca Chica, on an oil rig in Norway, and on a farm in New Zealand.
Spots are also already used in the police, fire brigades and emergency services.
In the future, you will also be able to see them as couriers.
