April 2022 – Spot detects gas leaks at TotalEnergies platform
New inspection mission for Spot at the Lacq robotics platform operated by TotalEnergies. Double mission, in teleoperation and autonomous mode:
- Reading gauges on equipment to ensure proper operation and detect any anomalies
- Detection, localization and visualization of gas leaks
Payload configuration:
- Spot CAM+ (360° PTZ camera) to read gauges
- Fluke SV600 Acoustic Imager to detect gas leaks
- Rajant ES1 Kit (mesh network) for wireless network communication
With Spot, TotalEnergies was able to detect gas leaks in less than 3 minutes within the facility.
March 2022: Spot in autonomous mission!
Did you know that Spot can perform complete autonomous tasks and data capture while carrying payloads?
Here Spot is equipped with a 360° PTZ camera combined with a thermal camera. At the top of right of the video you can follow the mission on the controller.
𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸?
The Spot 𝐴𝑢𝑡𝑜𝑤𝑎𝑙𝑘 feature enables you to record and replay autonomous behaviors with Spot. It consists of two parts:
Recording missions: Drive Spot through a route and choose Actions for the robot to complete at points along the way.
Replaying missions: Spot will execute these movements and Actions as recorded, while adapting to minor changes in the environment.

June 2021 – Vivatech Highlights with Spot Robot
June, the 16th 2021 – Vivatech in Paris
As expected, Vivatech was unmissable! With this year of COVID, Vivatech was a limited & hybrid edition with a blend of online and in-person for an augmented event experience. A total of 26,000 people attended the conference in person and 114,000 online, bringing the total to 140,000, That was up from 124,000 in-person attendees in 2019, the last time VivaTech was held. In total, this year’s event reached 119 million people in 149 countries, with 1.7 billion views.
For our 5th participation, we’ve been invited by Vivatech to showcase for the first time in France one of the most advanced robot: Spot, the famous nimble four-legged robot designed by our partner, Boston Dynamics. For this occasion, we built a wooden platform composed of a ramp and a stairs, to show all the agility of Spot.
While waiting for the 2022 edition (normal edition), find our highlights of this 2021 edition!
May 2021 – Leica Geosystems & Intuitive Robots collaborate to integrate the RTC360 Scanner with Spot
May 5, 2021 , Nantes, France
Leica Geosystems & Intuitive Robots collaborate to integrate the RTC360 Scanner with Spot robot for fast and easy-to-use reality capture. Professionals in many different industries such as construction, manufacturing, facility management, public safety, defense, media and entertainment or any other industry with autonomous scanning needs can benefit from programmed scanning tasks, especially for locations that must be repeatedly scanned for up-to-date digital twins.
For repetitive work such as daily stockpile analysis, quality assurance, and as-built analysis, the operator can focus on what needs to be captured, not how to capture it.
