Spot CORE I/O FAQ

It brings high-end edge computing (Jetson Xavier NX), full network connectivity (5G/LTE, Ethernet), multiple regulated power outputs and mounting interfaces so you can add sensors, lidar or custom compute—transforming Spot into a mission-specific data platform.

Yes — the module itself adds ~2.8 kg with antenna; since Spot’s total payload capacity is 14 kg it is essential to include this module plus any attached sensors inside that limit. Also additional compute/sensor draw may reduce mission runtime, so factor in battery and environment.

Yes — the module is designed with weather-sealed enclosure, IP54 ingress protection, and hardcore compute and communications connectivity—ideal for industrial or remote operations. Confirm rugged use-case with vendor especially for harsh-environment conditions.
