Competition in the four-legged robot market is heating up.🔥 A number of these robot dogs have been deployed in the workforce for applications like inspections, security and public safety. Watch the full video here:
For Ghost Robotics, the defense market is the company's bread and butter. The Philadelphia-based company says that out of its 20 plus customers, 90% are U.S. and allied foreign governments. One of those customers is the U.S. Air Force, which is using Ghost Robotics' Vision 60 robot to do security patrols around several bases. The Air Force says the robots can operate in a wide range of temperatures and are equipped with 14 sensors to help provide situational awareness.
Tech. Sgt. John Rodiguez, 321st Contingency Response Squadron security team, patrols with a Ghost Robotics Vision 60 prototype at a simulated austere base during the Advanced Battle Management System exercise on Nellis Air Force Base, Nev., Sept. 3, 2020.Other use cases for robotic dogs are just starting to catch on.
Experts predict the insurance industry alone will spend $1.7 billion on robotics systems in 2025. And other industries may follow suit. Amid the pandemic, a tight job market is forcing many companies to turn to automation. A survey done in December of 2020 by McKinsey, showed that 51 percent of respondents in North America and Europe said they had increased investment in new technologies during 2020, not including remote-work technologies.
"As a company, we're really pushing towards having this artificial workforce being adopted, where humans and robots work shoulder to shoulder to solve difficult problems," says Fankhauser. "And our vision is that people shouldn't do work which is dangerous in places they shouldn't really be. So our vision within the [next] 10 years that it becomes standard to hire either a person or a robot to do a certain job.
But they don't come cheap. Anybotics' Anymal costs $150,000, but the company says this includes the full autonomy platform, which comes with LIDAR and a docking station. Ghost Robotics' Vision 60 robot also costs around $150,000. Boston Dynamic's entry-level "explorer" Spot robot starts at $75,000, but does not include a self-charging dock and is more limited in its autonomous capabilities when compared to the company's more expensive "enterprise model.
