" summary

Spot operates as a deployable inspection platform: about 1,000 units sold, ~$100,000 each, carries ~30 lb payloads and runs ~90 minutes battery with docking for long missions. Onboard stereo cameras (liDAR optional) produce point clouds; missions take ~30–45 minutes to record and replay with dynamic rerouting. Integration uses a gRPC Python SDK and edge deployment via AWS IoT Greengrass, CDK pipelines, SageMaker Neo and Snowball Edge for GPU inference, plus WebRTC/Kinesis video for teleop and mission data upload.
