Rather than doing tricks, Spot’s primary focus on the future site of a six-story building that will feature almost 100 new patient rooms is both worker and structural safety, according to Fyrer, who uses the bot on other projects as well.
Spot primarily conducts walkthroughs on the property that would conventionally be delegated to someone like a project manager, to create a “Google Street”-esque map that owners can refer to upon the job’s completion.
“The benefit of that is you get it more accurate and continuously throughout the job cycle,” Fyrer said, adding that Spot’s trips take off about an hour of labor a day at the Northwell Health facility.
