About Field AI
FieldAI-powered Spot robots collect images and scans during construction-site walks and feed the results into building-information models and digital twins. A single mission can support progress tracking, quality checks and site-condition monitoring, including overnight collection for project teams to review the following morning.
The autonomy system combines camera, lidar and other onboard sensor input to respond as routes, materials and access conditions change. It can explore without a prior map or predefined path, reducing the need to reprogramme missions as construction advances. FieldAI and Boston Dynamics have deployed this configuration on sites across Asia, Europe and North America, with some customers expanding from initial pilots to fleets.
