Keeping Humans Out of Harm's Way: TVA's Robotic Dog Safety Strategy
Presented by Chance Silvers and Logan Stephens, TVASee how TVA uses Boston Dynamics' Spot robot dog to eliminate human exposure to high risk environments across coal, nuclear, and hydropower facilities. This demonstration shows how robotic mobility and advanced sensors allow Spot to inspect areas where workers could be crushed, trapped, or exposed to hazardous conditions.
