Boston Dynamics is doing quite well with its mostly telepresence Spot Robotics. Here another example, with apparent connection to specialized sensors.
Boston Dynamics' Spot Is Helping Chernobyl Move Towards Safe Decommissioning
Legged robots are uniquely qualified for sensing around what's left of Chernobyl's Reactor By Evan Ackerman in IEEE Spectrum
In terms of places where you absolutely want a robot to go instead of you, what remains of the utterly destroyed Chernobyl Reactor 4 should be very near the top of your list. The reactor, which suffered a catastrophic meltdown in 1986, has been covered up in almost every way possible in an effort to keep its nuclear core contained.
