Spot Quadruped: specs, status and sources
Boston Dynamics · Quadruped · United States
The gold standard of commercial quadrupeds. Spot traverses rough terrains, maps construction sites, and takes automated temperature readings in industrial environments.

How we verify specs: what the status badges mean
- Confirmed Read on the maker's own page, spec sheet, docs or press release as a stated value.
- Claimed Stated by the maker as a target, preliminary figure, “up to” value or performance claim.
- Estimated Derived by us or taken from a third party. Not maker data.
- Unverified No maker primary source checked yet. Treat as unconfirmed.
- Not published The maker does not publish this value.
Every Confirmed, Claimed or Estimated value links to its source and shows the date it was checked. A robot's overall badge reads Confirmed only when every published value is Confirmed, and Partly verified when they are mixed. Read the full methodology.
ZeroGantry verdict: 5 out of 5
Spot is the benchmark for commercial robotics deployment. With 1,000+ units in the field doing real inspection work at oil rigs, construction sites, and nuclear facilities, it has more verified operational data than all humanoid robots combined. The payload ecosystem is the killer feature — Boston Dynamics built a hardware platform and let third parties build the sensor payloads, creating a marketplace effect. If you need autonomous inspection, Spot is the only mature answer today. The price is steep, but the ROI calculation works for industrial customers who currently send humans into hazardous environments.
