Spot at GlobalFoundries | Enterprise Asset Management

- Опубліковано 11 тра 2022
- GlobalFoundries, a global semiconductor manufacturer, has turned to Spot to further automate their data collection for condition monitoring and predictive maintenance. Globalfoundries’ semiconductor manufacturing facility in Burlington, Vermont creates products that go into communication devices, RF technology, and more.
Manufacturing facilities are filled with thousands of inspection points, and adding fixed sensors to all these assets is not economical. With Spot bringing the sensors to their assets, the team collects valuable information about the thermal condition of pumps and motors, as well as taking analog gauge readings. Since this equipment has a long life cycle and slow rate of change, the team can better monitor these assets over time - making better informed decisions to keep the facility running.
Boston Dynamics partner Levatas worked to implement automated inspection missions at Globalfoundries’ facility. Building computer vision models based on gauges and motors of a variety of equipment, Levatas was able to provide Spot the cognitive intelligence it needs to know what it’s looking at, and make decisions based on that information.

As an engineer at this facility, I’m super excited to have Spot helping us maintain our equipment and improve our signal monitoring. Great work to the automation team here at Fab 9 as well as BD!
This is probably the first public reference location that made sense. All the videos of Spot as a metermaid I have seen before were from small locations, where just installing 20 sensors would do the job for basically free compared to Spot. It seems that we saw only a very little of that site in this video and using Spot might actually save a lot of time in the start up phase versus installing actual sensors for everything and is probably much cheaper. Vibration sensors would found bad bearings earlier, but thermal imaging by Spot should be enough to prevent surprises though.
Liar
@Andrew Woythal I'm curious, Can't you just install gauges and sensor that can be monitored remotely and automatically by a computer to perform the same task with 24/7 monitoring and instant response instead of waiting for spot to do it at pre-programming times? Even then spot will need to relay this info to a system to alert a human, What is the benefit of having spot do it vs the ladder?
@@GooseWurkz While I can’t answer this definitively as I’m not directly involved on this project, my understanding is there are hundreds if not more than a thousand of pumps in the sub fab area. Having to retrofit all of the existing equipment with new gauges and run cabling would not only be expensive but extremely time consuming. Plus if any equipment is ever moved or changed, the wired sensors would all have to be redone. As for the response times, the rate of failure of these pumps is not immediate so even getting data when Spot runs a check will benefit us to detect a change in trends if an issue begins to arise.
Put some sensitive audio sensors to listen to pipes as sound can tell allot.
Monotonous tasks like checking sensors and equipment are a great application for robots. Will be interesting to see how these sorts of applications work out long-term and how this industry expands.
Don't really get why they just can't install gauges and sensor that can be monitored remotely and automatically by a computer. If theres a mechanical part that needs to be monitored, install a camera.
@@samik83 It becomes more cost efficient to use autonomous mobile robots when the number of gauges/mechanical parts is very high, like in this example.
@@HL-xi7sz Don't buy it. Wired sensors can't cost that much these day. And if there really are so many sensor then I doubt one single robot is enough to keep check on them all.
Well maybe its cheaper if you have old tech and don't want to retrofit everything....
@@timinwsac My understanding is that if something has changed since its last inspection round that it doesn't understand it will alert a human.
@@samik83 The cost of Spot is $74,500. You then have to program your tasks to inspect gauges / temperatures / switches, but that would only take a few days at most in a large company with an I.T. employee.
The kicker is that if something needs to be changed there are no wires to re-route, you just alter the path of Spot and instruct him to forget the old instrument and expand the program to read the new instrument.
I've been in a paraplegic since I was hit by a car when I was 4 months old. I'm in the IT field Administrator for a nonprofit. I could really use somthing like spot to get to places I can't get to because of access old buildings.
today someone commented i should delete all videos :( people can be so mean. but i dont care. i know im the best. i never give up. i am age 80+ and will never stop. thanks for caring, dear chad
@@AxxLAfriku What is wrong with you, why would you chose here to spam your channel?
You are not 80+ years old
That's how this will be sold to the public.
Help the injured.
When CCP uses these to chorale people into their homes it will be too late.
We all know the dangers.
Sci-fi has warned us for a century.
Don't wanna post 'I told ya so' as the robot dogs take over.
Or an exoskeleton. Either way, the near future is bright for you inshaAllah.
How does someone get hit by a car at the age of "4 months"? Wtf
Seriously slick! Globalfoundries / IBM used to be a customer of mine, and that facility at Essex Junction, Vermont is HUGE. Using robots and coupling them with AI for decision / action purposes makes a ton of sense in terms of maintaining uptime and quality control.
Most excellent!
IBM used to be a customer of hitler too. They created Watson. The system used to barcode and give the order of what Jew is going to die that day
It's amazing to see how far this has come. Excited to see what Boston Dynamics comes up with next!
Remember when this channel was just a bunch of scientists making cool robots? Now it's a social media page.
I’ve been keenly watch since 2008. Love it. One thing I’m keen to see you do is automated delivery. Let’s utilize empty roads at night with driverless trucks, plus your robots to deliver. People can pay for their own upgraded mail boxes, and in return get cheaper and faster deliveries. Order it before bed. Delivered by breakfast! 🙂
Your on to something my friend. Sounds like a great idea for a startup... ;-)
At night, they will have accidents, they may hit walking or running people or animals in the dark, how will they function with road closings, things blocking lanes, such as car and truck accidents, broken down abandoned vehicles, how do they react to stop lights and stop signs, will they understand road warning signs, will they avoid flooded road areas. Our Earth's weather is getting worse, and how will they re-route if there's a downed telephone pole blocking the road and more? Please keep them inside on private property until all safety issues are resolved. Who will rescue them if the fall, fail or are blocked and robbed by criminals, hurting your company and your customer's paid for products they've been awaiting? Just curious, Jeanne.
@@jeannetemplin9706 You do realise that "darkness" is only an issue for us humans right? Robots have so many active sensors that don't really care whether or not it's dark outside. And regarding unexpected bad road conditions, it's a simple matter of having one or two humans on stanby to get alerted and manually reroute them, or just have the robots reroute themselves, Google Maps does a great job at recalculating paths when there are issues...
What an awesome collaboration with Levatas! I’m excited with the growth in robotics, cognition, and applications. Wish I could see the progress in 100+ years.
makes a lot of sense, great work. Feeling jealous for those who work on things like this :D
My father works in programming in the greater Boston area. Had an extremely promising intern a few years back that he wanted to hire and even offered a decent sign-on bonus to, but Boston Dynamics also apparently liked her, and let her drive Spot at the end of her interview. suffice it to say, my father didn't get her
@@Roger44477 Sign on bonus not enought, then?
@@ValeriePallaoro Very hard to beat the impression of piloting a robot
Spot has come a long way. Good for him. The robot is only as good as the human that made it.

@M.I.C.H.A.E.L. yes. All of the above. ☺.
@M.I.C.H.A.E.L. btw whatever you're smokin', can I have some?
@M.I.C.H.A.E.L. b r u h
@M.I.C.H.A.E.L. yeah so am I. U have a great way with words btw.
Robots walking around and working in semiconductor foundries. This is a well deserved thing.
Yep... That's how everything starts... or ends... ;-)
This answers the question I keep seeing down here about “Why wouldn’t you just put a camera at each gauge site?”. Answer: Because you have waaaaay too many different sites to check for a camera at each one.
Yeah, that easily becomes hundreds if not thousands of locations that would need to be refit. The cost and time to do so would be astronomical compared to just using a robot like Spot to do it.
Would love to take Spot out on a walk to my local homestead. Keep up the good work, BD!
Thank you for making a video about the real useful abilities of the Spot! It was interesting to watch
I work at a hotel and we have 4 robot vacuum cleaners that run autonomously throughout the carpeted hallways. The novelty wears off after a couple weeks and you accept them as dumb machines afterwards. You rarely pay attention to them running around. They get brought down at night and taken up during the day. Changing and charging the batteries is the main difference in not having them. Floors look decent. They remind me of timid dogs roaming an unfamiliar backyard while they run.
Excellent. I cant wait to see Spot given the correct dexterous paws to do emergency on site maintenance.
Great work, looking forward to what’ll be possible in 5 years.
In less than 5 years you will be the one monitored by that fucking robodog
@@citizenoftheworld8537 at least I’ll know it’s there unlike some security cameras.
I wish all the best to Boston Dynamics!
I will tell you right now. In the year 2040 SOOO many things will be different. We are on the cusp of technology transforming daily life and the trajectory of the human experience. So excited
This is either going to age really poorly or really well.
I want more of atlas!
I do too, but as far as I can tell, atlas is more of a show robot, robots like stretch and spot have practical application and are currently being used, so development is probably focused mainly on them.
I can see a bright future for spot. There are so many applications that I can that this piece of kit can be used for.
This is maybe less “cool” than a dancing contest, but it is real life interesting !
The first 20 seconds answered a long question of mine! It is cheaper to use Spot than sensorize everything.
Always fun to see Vermont doing cool stuff
Is there any Atlas update? Its been a while.
love what your doing, keep pushing them boundaries 😉
2:56 tail wagging action :D
Love to see it!...Keep moving forward Boston Dynamics and Levatas...
In all industrial fields, we hope that robots will soon replace humans in situations that are difficult for humans to do, or pose a risk of occupational accidents and health risks.🙏💕
Im glad theyre partnered with globalfoundaries
One of the things that doesn't come through, at least to me, is if Spot learns to navigate through buildings, read gauges, do thermal imaging, etc. without an operator watching a screen and moving joysticks. So the question is - is Spot autonomous after initial training and why is it more cost effective to use Spot vs a human for the same application.
Autonomous robots don't have healthcare needs, a 401k, social security, wages, etc. These robots, most likely, can have be interchangeable other with suites of sensors that could in theory make them multitaskers. So you've taken one robot that can perform the work of multiple surveyors(lower amount of humans required to perform the work), break down and analyze possible maintenance, thus reducing plant down time (increasing production via proactivity leading to increased profit), and never need to take breaks or days off.
I imagine an initial upfront cost may be larger, but at the end of the year an employer would spend significantly more on the human equivalent. The investment in the human could be great or not depending the person and if they would stay in the job long enough to make up the initial investment in human capital
Spot is semi-autonomous and can be trained in a routine as well as be manned. Additionally, Spot has none of the other costs or requirements a human worker needs. It never gets tired (unless you count needing to be recharged but that takes minutes to hours at best), it never gets sick, it can never have 'bad days', it doesn't need a wage/salary, it can virtually work 24/7, etc. Spot is far better for repetitive tasks like checking gauges and sensors than a human would be.
You could have several Spots with only one human operator who acts in case an alarm is triggered.
in the next 20 years majority of human jobs will be replaced by robots. So we will have to figure out how people will make an income as majority of people will be out of a job. we would probably switch to a universal income and work would be a thing of the past and people would be able to just live theor life doing the things they wish they could. Companies who switch over to autonomous robots will be charged a tax that will be used to fund the universal income
It's in my wishlist to visit this .
Dang ol robot dog stole my gauge reading job
Watching the antenna bounce at 2:49 makes me wonder why Spot doesn't have a tail. Beyond the fun aspects - it could be used to grab & haul Spot out of a tight spot if it ever becomes trapped.
he does have an arm depending on the attachment loll, dont know about tail tho!
Esse robô é uma gracinha!♥️😁👏
We wish you successful testing. And we are also waiting for development as a data center inspector.
But can it vacuum?
I hope BD will at least try something in robot vacuum industry, like iRobot. iRobot is also from Massachusetts, and before they made Roomba they also made industrial or educationa robots. Boston Dynamics would be able to make a robot with legs, so it can go upstairs and downstairs too. Or even clean stairs unlike any robot vacuum today.
if you want it to
It would be great to see Spot on any kind of ship and see what they can do there with a moving platform. Could it do that? I know it probably not able at this time but hopefully in the future.
Amazing work, exciting to see the progress!
One thing I was asking myself: are these analog gauges still state of the art technology? Is there no solution to get digital readouts from all gauges simultaneously at all times?
In the video they explain that it's cheaper to use one robot rather than install digital sensors in many locations.
@@BardCanning oh thanks a lot, I totally overheard that!
There's also the matter of how time consuming of a retrofit that would be, and how many new points of failure would be introduced
@@BardCanning ofcourse they do but i cannot imagine the cost of sensors being much more than THOSE equipments. Perhaps a further validation of primary data maybe required.
Out of curiosity why don't these devices connect to something like an iot box or a cable. Wouldn't that be easier ? Thanks 👍
The two shots where Spot walks down stairs ( 2:20 & 2:53 ) shows Spot descends stairs backwards... maybe due to the centre of gravity being biased toward the head assembly?
Not that I am against the project, but using the robot to check if the electromotor is hot? Come on guys! An electromotor would have a thermal sensor to measure the temperature constantly, if there is such necessity.
Spot is fantastic !!! 👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️👋👋👋🏆🏆🏆
This is cool, but wouldn't it be more cost effective to put a motorized camera in certain locations, have them all feedback to a server for image processing? Seems like this would be cheaper and probably more effective to implement. I'd imagine with other thermal sensors, not just FLIR, there are better ways to measure some things.
In changing environments, like a construction site, I'd see more usefulness with Spot. I'd imagine that Globalfoundries has a fairly static environment. I mean, a robot dog is way cooler, just seems overly complicated for this application.
Actually, when you get to facilities this large the price of digital sensors or cameras for all the necessary locations becomes greater than the price of Spot.
Plus, the amount of time it would take to install all of those and the amount of additional failure points would render Spot the better option even if it did cost more.
@@Roger44477 The cost of a single Spot + all the accessories it would take is edging on $100k. If the company was all about redundancy, they'd need to buy at least two Spots.
I'd imagine there are plenty of companies that could put a few dozen wireless sensors + cameras for significantly less than that. I just thought this was an odd use case. I figured it would've been a better example if used for a dynamic environment. New dangerous environments = check, construction sites = check, etc.
I think the work Boston Dynamics is doing is amazing. I'm definitely not crapping on the company or tech.
@@davidbetancourt4028 Damn, why haven't you told them already?
@@davidbetancourt4028 damn, I can't believe a single youtube commenter is smarter than an entire company of people
@@LineOfThy I don't think you understood or comprehended my original statement, or you were just trying to be snarky w/o putting any real effort into thinking about what I said. I did not phrase it as a matter of fact. There was literally a question mark at the end of the first sentence.
Generally, and not from this thread specifically, I'm kind of tired of these half assed comments that are intended to be _'oh, look at my smart ass remark, ha ha funny, got em!'_
We are here to see dancing robots and you know it.
Wouldn't be cheaper to monitor those using sensors, than some walking thingy? And the detection of any issue would be infinitely faster.
Very cool
For home use, i wish you could use voicecommands like "Spot, how your status" or "Spot, when is my laundry ready" or "Spot, clean my room"
So, spot is being implemented instead of changing out analogue sensing equipment for digital equipment?
I do enjoy seeing Spot I imagine it transforming into a drone is possible how is Atlas progressing?
Bonjour, Belle vidéo de présentation
Any advantages to using the spot as opposed to a team of light weight cost effective drones with different complimenting payloads? I would assume drones can reach tricky spots and elevations, something that a spot robot couldn't do.
I'm thinking that Samantha is recalling the BASF commercials of days gone by: We don't make a lot of the products you buy, we make a lot of the products you buy better.
That being said, great stuff. Is there a 2nd Spot holding the camera or is the camera on a low dolly and just tracking?
Boston dynamics works is exciting like Hollywood movies
Yes, this is great!
But some fun stuff would be fun again too. 💁🏼♂️
Is this really cheaper than wiring the facility with webcams pointed at gauges to read them all remotely?
Do any companies use Boston dynamics robots autonomously currently or is that something for the future? Really fascinating company though
Thanks
Always loved robots, luv to Spot❤
Can spot be used in Explosive environments? Mainly Zone 2.
You guys should do a video about SpaceX using Spot for inspections at Starbase.
So it can replace several employees, can work around the clock and he won’t even try to unionize…learn to code, people
Spot is amazing 👏👌😍
This is so inspiring.
What do they use as controller?
impressive! (4 years ago) And now ? what's new? next step?
Boston Dynamics is what is going to make mechs real
Boston Skynamics has continued to provide a glimpse of the future. 🙃
I remember when a Boston Dynamics notification said "come see something cool, come see the future"... what happened?
Great job but you have to add a self destruct button at HQ just for safety
👍
why not just have digital meters and heat sensors to feed back into a computer? spot is a great idea but why not just do it in a better way?
Super!!!
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
One doesn’t experience self transcendence, the illusion of self only dissipates~🎈
Why not set up cheap, stationery cameras pointed at the gauges that need to be monitored? It would cost 1/1000 price of Spot.
Do you have one ready for the Moon or Mars?
I need a Spot to collect my mail from the mailbox, it's over 500 m away from my house 😄
*Super Duper Cool*
You can use one $100k robot to read 1000 gauges, or you can use 1000 $100 raspberry pis with cameras.
(Installing power to then all might bea challenge though -- spot brings that with it)
Spot is 75 thousand with a roughly 10k software. From what I remember at least.
and then you have the issue of how the fuck are you going to coordinate 1000 pieces of electronics together without constant malfunctions and errors.
@@LineOfThy True, but if even 5% are broken, you still have 950 working cameras.
I'm not against Spot at all, in fact I want one, but there's always more than one way to skin a cat.
The future is now!
Last video you talked about 200k square feet with the radio antenna.... but that's. .007 square miles....
Edit. Ig that can be used for large warehouses. But I don't think it will work for solar panel farms
Feels like there's some kind of irony here. Robots, monitoring semiconductor processing equipment, which one day could be used in other robots.
Either way, makes sense for the company. Pay $74000 once, instead of $74000 a year.
Can't wait to see what the future holds for BD.
Surely there's already a central control panel that monitors gauge pressures and flow rates??
if there were, why would they need spot?
Great 😎
I wonder what is the cost of Spot services?
$75,000 plus maybe an extra $20,000 for accessories.
how much would you guys make a life sized working "Panzerhund"
What is fab an abbreviation for

They use lithography, building silicon chips in hundreds of nanometre-precise etched layers.
@@popcorny007 thank you I thought it was FABrication lol
Lot of Edwards products in sub fab 👍
"200 millimeter manufacturing facility". What does that mean?
Is it just me or does the soundtrack, especially around 2:20, sounds like something straight out of the latest Deus Ex series lol
DO MORE MUSIC VIDS WITH SPOT!!!!!!!
There are many ways to use up a budget. Some ways are fun and educational. While it looks cool, let's check back with some previous proof of concepts to see if they actually are in use today or in a pile of broken dreams. I love companies that are willing to make the initial investment AND continue to make significant investment in continuous improvement year after year. Those companies will see success and should be showcased.
Global Foundries is going to take it apart
are there any human flesh sensors that i can strap to it yet?
It looked like someone still needed to drive Spot. If that's true, then what's the point vs having that employee look at the gauges?
That was just while still setting Spot up. Once they run it through manually and "train" it, Spot can walk the whole facility automatically and only send out an alert if something reads as abnormal, such as a pressure gauge reading above or below accepted parameters or a motor running too hot
With the Size of a Fab, it maybe would make sense to have a little Team of Surveillance Spots. It would be better for their Joints /Maintenance XD
A human would easily walk several Kilometers a Day to check the Hardware. Luckily, Technicians work as a Team, it would be to much work for one Person.
