- Spot, the internet-famous Boston Dynamics robot dog, just landed its first job at a Norwegian oil and gas company.
- The robot will survey an oil and gas production vessel, according to Bloomberg.
- Since last September, Boston Dynamics has been making Spot available for commercial lease. This looks to be the second organization to take the robotics company up on the offer, after a bomb squad in Massachusetts.
Spot the Dog—the
robotic viral sensation known for opening doors, climbing steps with
ease, and even taking clean dishes out of the dishwasher—has just landed
a full-time gig as an inspector at an oil and gas company in Norway.
At
