Analog and Boston Dynamics Partner to Deploy Spot Robots Across UAE

• Boston Dynamics and Analog announced an exclusive alliance to bring Spot robots to the UAE.
• Initial deployments in Abu Dhabi will support park inspections, environmental monitoring, and accessibility.

Boston Dynamics and Analog have formed an exclusive alliance focused on introducing Physical Intelligence systems in the UAE, starting with Spot, Boston Dynamics’ four-legged mobile robot. Analog is now the only certified reseller, integrator, and service provider for Boston Dynamics in the UAE, and holds a leading partner role across the Middle East and North Africa. The rollout starts with Abu Dhabi’s Department of Municipalities and Transport, using Spot to support park and public realm inspections, environmental quality, and accessibility.

"Our robots paired with Analog’s AI platform will unlock new use cases in urban planning, and citizen services by bringing advanced intelligence to the real, physical world," said Robert Playter, CEO, Boston Dynamics, in an official news release. "The development of advanced world models will accelerate our industrial inspection capabilities with Spot, and expand our robot use from an Enterprise Asset Management tool into a complete facility monitoring solution including safety, quality, compliance, security, and predictive maintenance.” 

This effort runs on Analog’s country-wide World Model, national infrastructure built and run by Analog, and part of its core intellectual property. The model is continuously updated with live information to help guide services and inform decision-making in real-time. It provides the coordination layer for robots and other physical systems, with Ana, the Analog Neural Agent, offering AI-powered support based on a live, integrated view of the physical environment.

Spot will be the first robot to contribute to the system through real-world tasks like inspections and monitoring. It can navigate parks, climb stairs, and carry sensors to collect data, which feeds directly into the World Model. In addition to deploying Spot, the companies will co-develop a new robotics platform with Ana’s intelligence embedded at its core.

🌀 Tom’s Take:

Spot feeds real-world data into the World Model, which immediately informs its movement and actions. Every task makes the system smarter, creating a live feedback loop between the robot and its environment.
