Why “Spot” the Mobile Robot is Made for Manufacturing with Boston Dynamics’ Michael Perry
Michael Perry, VP of Business Development at Boston Dynamics, explains how the Spot mobile robot is used in manufacturing for safety inspections and facility optimization. He details a Ford case study where Spot reduced laser scanning time from two weeks to two days and cost from $300,000 to approximately $150,000–$200,000, enabling frequent data collection. Perry also discusses the company's global expansion strategy, the importance of product quality in partnerships, and the future of mobile manipulation.

254: From Steel City to Robotics Powerhouse: Pittsburgh’s Industrial Legacy featuring Jay Douglass, COO of ARM Institute
Jay Douglass, COO of the ARM Institute, discusses the institute's mission to de-risk robotics adoption for small manufacturers through its Robotics Manufacturing Hub in Pittsburgh's historic Mill 19 facility. He explains how the ARM Institute's national consortium of 450+ members collaborates on pre-competitive R&D projects funded by the Department of Defense to improve US manufacturing competitiveness. Douglass highlights the challenge of reshoring industries like textiles and furniture, arguing that combining robots with people is essential to achieve the scalability and skill sets required for domestic production.

All Things Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) with Seegrid's Jeff Christensen
Jeff Christensen, VP of Product at Seegrid, discusses the evolution of Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) in manufacturing, explaining how they solve material handling challenges by combining physical robots with logical and learning software layers. He argues that AMRs eliminate the historical trade-off between predictability and flexibility, allowing manufacturers to automate repetitive tasks while humans handle creative problem-solving. Christensen highlights how data collected by robots enables continuous improvement and cites a case study where operational efficiency gains allowed a global manufacturer to reshore an assembly line from Mexico to the US.
