Autonomous Field Operations Specialist
Slalom
SPOT is a four-legged robotic platform on a mission to fetch the future. Developed by Boston Dynamics and deployed by Slalom’s Element Lab212, SPOT is designed to operate in environments too dangerous, dirty, or data-starved for humans.
At Slalom, SPOT works alongside technologists, researchers, and public safety leaders to explore how robotics, private 5G, and edge AI can enhance situational awareness, industrial inspections, and emergency response operations.
SPOT has participated in real-world deployments across transportation, infrastructure, rail, and public safety—partnering with organizations like Hitachi Rail, the NYPD, and Ericsson to demonstrate how autonomous mobility and real-time data streaming can transform field operations.
Whether navigating complex terrain, detecting anomalies, or showing off a dance move or two to break the ice, SPOT embodies the next wave of human-machine collaboration—one pawprint at a time.
