Dear MEL Topic Readers,
‘Do not pet’: Why are robot dogs patrolling Mar-A-Lago?
Spot is a compact, nimble four-legged robot made by Boston Dynamics that can trot around the office, warehouse, home, or outdoors. It can map its environment, sense and avoid obstacles, climb stairs, and open doors. Spot is easy to use and intuitive to learn, making it quick to deploy for both manual operations and autonomous missions. With 360° perception and athletic intelligence along with 14kg of payload capacity, Spot can be used for surveillance, inspection, transporting, or more.
Mar-a-Lago is a national historic landmark in Palm Beach, Florida. It has been owned and resided by Donald Trump since 1985. Sport has been deployed by the US Secret Service to provide extra security to the President-elect in a sixty-eight thousand square meter property. Though the robot is not armed, it is expected to detect and deter harmful attempts on Trump and his family.
