Using the quadrupedal walking robot “Spot” at construction sites

The quadrupedal robot "Spot" from Boston Dynamics patrols construction sites to check and record updates on day-to-day activities remotely and automatically.

With robots, on-site management tasks could be carried out remotely or automatically, increasing the number of tasks and operations that can be completed without the need to be on-site.

I am involved in researching and developing technology to utilize the quadruped robot "Spot" for managing construction sites. By using this robot to patrol construction sites, we can realize a construction site of the future, where even people in remote areas can be involved.

My specialty lies in computer science, including robotics. There are aspects of architecture as a field that I don’t have full knowledge of as an individual, but I am able to make use of my strengths in my research by working with a team to solve problems.
