Boston Dynamics announced a partnership with IFS in November 2025 to integrate its Spot inspection robots with IFS.ai, an agentic AI system that converts robot-collected field data into automated maintenance decisions and work orders.
Details
The collaboration connects data gathered by Spot robots during autonomous inspections to IFS.ai, which analyzes the data, makes decisions such as scheduling preventive maintenance, detecting anomalies, and triggering field actions without requiring human intervention at each step. The system is designed for asset-intensive industries including manufacturing, energy, and utilities. Boston Dynamics and IFS demonstrated the joint solution at Industrial X Unleashed in New York in November 2025.
