Spot is designed to help our geospatial survey team assess building damage in dangerous situations.
In 1984, York Minster suffered a catastrophic fire. 40 years later, our Geospatial Survey Team were invited to show how the response to a similar disaster today would be different, with Spot the robot dog and a flying drone potentially the first on the scene.
For Spot, protecting our heritage is a walk in the park.
