We scout for teams pushing the boundaries of innovation and invite them to join the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/technology-centers\">Outsight Network<\/a>, the Technology Centers\u2019 global resident community. We\u2019ve been building a relationship with Boston Dynamics for a few years, and we recently brought their autonomous robot, Spot, onsite at the Technology Center in Boston. We share a goal of supporting and driving innovation and improving efficiencies using robotics, and together we developed an open <a href=\"https:\/\/autode.sk\/TCcfpSpot01\">call for proposals<\/a> (CFP) into the Outsight Network. <div id=\"attachment_7076\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7076\" class=\"wp-image-7076 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/adsknews.autodesk.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/BD-Spot_feature-image_small-1-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Woman with Spot robot at the Autodesk Technology Center in Boston.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adsknews.autodesk.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/BD-Spot_feature-image_small-1-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/adsknews.autodesk.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/BD-Spot_feature-image_small-1-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/adsknews.autodesk.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/BD-Spot_feature-image_small-1-1-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/adsknews.autodesk.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/BD-Spot_feature-image_small-1-1.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-7076\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Stefanie Pender, Senior Shop Supervisor guides Boston Dynamics&#8217; Spot robot<\/p><\/div> &#8220;Our customers are deeply invested in connecting their digital models and assets with their physical sites.

If chosen, you will join the Technology Centers\u2019 resident community of more than 150 teams from industry, academia, and entrepreneurial backgrounds. You\u2019ll also have access to experts from Boston Dynamics. This is not the first time the Technology Centers have issued a call for proposals. We\u2019ve worked with residents on adapting workflows affected by COVID-19, future use cases for mixed reality headsets with Microsoft\u2019s HoloLens 2, and most recently, how to use AI for machine maintenance and monitoring. The teams who joined the Outsight Network as a result brought important insight into how to solve those problems. There\u2019s no doubt the ones who team up with Spot will do the same. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Submit your proposals and explore new opportunities with the Autodesk Technology Centers Outsight Network <a href=\"https:\/\/autode.sk\/TCcfpSpot01\">here<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CFP for teams to explore new solutions with Spot and join the Technology Centers Outsight Network<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":161,"featured_media":7077,"template":"","categories":[3,5,20,375,309],"adsk_tags":[431,438],"class_list":["post-7040","stories","type-stories","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categories-aec-bim","categories-engineering","categories-future_of_work","categories-innovation","categories-press-releases","adsk_tags-research","adsk_tags-robotics"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Spot Robot at Autodesk Technology Centers | Autodesk News<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Explore new solutions with Spot robot and join the Technology Centers Outsight Network in Boston.
