To be realistic. Spot (the dog) is not autonomous currently either. In fact it doesn't even use "AI", all of its movements are electrical and mechanical control theory on steroids ;)
The BD customer can integrate an AI to direct movements if desired but it's not what BD ships. BD instead offers a human operated remote control with camera system.
- simion314 6y agoAny idea What is it good for?
- emteycz 6y agoSpaceX uses them to inspect still burning crashed spaceships (minutes post-crash).
- simion314 6y agoDo they do it for PR reasons? i assume you can use drones more effectively.
- emteycz 6y agoWhy do you think so? A drone has to be piloted the whole time, while a dog can be positioned and stay there with no further piloting or energy requirement. I also imagine that piloting a drone around hissing gas and in low vision could be problematic.
- simion314 6y agoSo if SpaceX needs video of the landing/crash sites then you could buy a few drones instead of a single dog. Because of possible debris and fire on the ground I also expect a drone would be better, and if teh land is clear then a drone could also be configured to land and film from the ground(because you could afford multiple ones you can have different configurations). I might be missing something though, a scenario where an robot with legs can do better then a flying or wheeled one.
