Which group Spot Battery belongs to and how it is built
Energy Storage is a subcategory of components responsible for storing electrical energy and supporting autonomous operation of a robot or its modules. It encompasses battery packs, energy storage modules, supercapacitors, and other power supply solutions. These elements are particularly important in mobile robots, humanoids, AMRs, and platforms operating outside fixed power infrastructure.
Battery Pack is an integrated assembly of rechargeable cells designed to power robots, mobile modules, and embedded systems. In robotics, it is responsible for energy storage and for supplying appropriate voltage and current parameters to drives, control electronics, and sensors. A battery pack may also include a BMS circuit, thermal protection, diagnostic interfaces, and a protective enclosure. It is a key component in mobile robots, humanoid robots, AMRs, and drones.
The Spot Battery is a dedicated energy pack designed exclusively for Boston Dynamics' Spot quadruped robot. The 564 Wh pack provides up to 90 minutes of typical field operation and up to 180 minutes in standby mode. Fast charging takes only 60 minutes, enabling efficient battery rotation during continuous operation.
The battery is integrated into Spot's body structure, with its mass (5.2 kg) included in the robot's total weight of 33.8 kg. The module features a DB25 connector for communication with the robot's energy management system. It supports operating voltage and temperature ranges suitable for industrial environments from -20°C to 55°C.
