“Spot” the Robot Dog

Spot is a remotely controlled 4-legged robot created by Boston Dynamics. It’s being used by the Phoenix Police Department Special Assignments Unit (SAU/SWAT) and the Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS) bomb squad.

Capabilities:

– Lifts up to 25 pounds and drags up to 60 pounds

– Automatically stands back up if knocked over

– Detects radiation, airborne chemicals, and thermal signatures

Come see him at a demonstration at 4:00 PM.

As always, we need volunteers to make this event work, so please call or email Louisa Ward to let her know how you’d like to help out. Louisa: 602.769.6699 or MyAzRealtyTeam@gmail.com.
