Spot, the $110,000 robotic dog, can go places no human can.
The four winners of Spark's 5G Starter Fund have launched their technology prototypes showing how important 5G can be across Aotearoa and the world with kids, VR, remote eye checks and a robotic dog all on show.
Rocos, named the supreme winner in October last year, used its share of the $625,000 provided by the telecommunications company to work on using 5G for autonomous inspection.
Boston Dynamics' $110,000 robotic dog, Spot, is used to show how remote control and automation could revolutionise industries, particularly in areas that are inaccessible to humans or where there are unacceptable risks.
