Autonomous Robotic Dog Building Scan
A robotic dog receives a building scan mission, enters the structure, navigates corridors, scans rooms and reports video and position back to the operator — without teleoperation.

What is demonstrated
This demonstration shows Neuronic's Ground Robotics Autonomy Box enabling a robotic dog to autonomously navigate and scan an indoor building while transmitting video and mission status to the operator.
Capability
Autonomous indoor navigation in a GNSS-denied structure, obstacle avoidance, room-by-room scan coverage and autonomous mission completion.
Why it is operationally useful
Clearing and scanning a building is one of the most dangerous tasks a small unit performs. Autonomy removes the requirement for continuous operator attention and a stable video link inside a structure, so the robot keeps working where teleoperation breaks down.
Scenario
Mission sequence
- 01Operator assigns the building scan mission from the tactical tablet.
- 02The robotic dog approaches the building autonomously.
- 03The robot enters through the assigned entry point.
- 04It navigates corridors and builds a map as it moves.
- 05Rooms are scanned in sequence with camera coverage.
- 06Obstacles and clutter are detected and avoided.
- 07Video and position are transmitted continuously to the operator.
- 08The scan mission completes and the robot reports mission status.

The operator selects the target structure on the map and assigns a building scan mission to the robotic dog.
The Ground Robotics Autonomy Box plans the approach route and the platform moves out under its own control.
At the entry point the robot transitions to indoor navigation. GNSS is unavailable inside the building, so localisation runs on onboard LiDAR and inertial sensing.
Moving along the corridor, the autonomy stack detects clutter and doorways and adjusts the path in real time.
Each room is entered and scanned. Camera coverage and the position of the robot are streamed back to the operator over the tactical link.
Obstacles that were not present in the plan are handled locally by the obstacle avoidance layer without operator intervention.
When the assigned area is covered, the robot reports the completed scan and returns to the exit point.
