Compare the base platform and development access before planning a research or inspection workflow. Payload and runtime are manufacturer claims under different conditions, not a common benchmark.

The published specifications
Compare the facts.
Read each number with its qualification. Sources are linked beside the exact claims they support.
15,000 mAh long-endurance battery listed for EDU[source]
Integration
Software API and hardware interface documentation available[source]
Secondary development listed as supported; configuration details require confirmation[source]
Comparison limit: Different runtime claims, different payload definitions, and battery capacity expressed in different units prevent a single performance ranking.

Boston Dynamics
Boston Dynamics Spot
A mobile platform with a published payload interface for sensing and inspection integrations.

Regional delivered price and software/service bundle
Runtime with a specific payload and duty cycle
Exact hardware revision supplied
Configuration & evidence notes
Use these current product-page specifications; older official PDFs list different mass and battery figures.
A published terrain or payload limit is not proof that an intended site or task is suitable.
Spot publishes an IP54 rating and a 14 kg maximum payload. Go2 EDU is a lighter, development-oriented configuration. Neither runtime figure predicts a shared route with a shared payload; both need a demonstration of the intended workflow.
Questions for the supplier
Which sensors and compute modules are included in the exact quoted configuration?
Can the supplier demonstrate your terrain, payload and software workflow?
What is the local support route and documented development access?
How to use this pair
Specify terrain, weather and the payload before choosing a platform.
Confirm SDK access, compute modules, support and recovery procedures in the quote.
Compare Wh only when voltage and the exact battery configuration are established.
