pot, the robot dog designed by Boston Dynamics, is overseeing construction for architecture firm Foster + Partners’ at Battersea Power Station in London.
The four-legged machine, which can walk up and down stairs and move across uneven ground, is being used to regularly scan the site to monitor progress at Battersea Roof Gardens.
A video shows Spot being welcomed into the office and presented with its own Foster + Partners lanyard and ID card, before accompanying architects around the site and performing a scan.
