Boston Dynamics and FieldAI partner to run Spot autonomously on construction sites and in other changing environments

Boston Dynamics/Spot

Boston Dynamics partnered with FieldAI, whose Field Foundation Models enable robots to navigate unmapped, changing places without GPS or maps, to run Spot autonomously on construction sites. FieldAI's physics-first AI models let robots reason about uncertainty, risk, and physical constraints. Inspection and documentation time drops by over 90% versus manual work.

• FieldAI's models enable offline operation without cloud connectivity; Spot navigates unstructured environments without maps/GPS.
• Physics-first reasoning: robots assess uncertainty, risk, physical constraints in dynamic, unmapped spaces.
• Inspection time reduced 90%+ versus manual; Spot tracks progress, identifies hazards, documents construction sites autonomously.
• FieldAI building one of largest third-party Spot fleets; partnership demonstrates autonomous deployment in real construction.
