# Boston Dynamics Spot SDK: Robot state and hardware inspection

Read robot state, metrics and hardware configuration. Inspect exact upstream setup and terms before use.

ID: `spot-sdk-python-examples-get-robot-state-get-robot-state-py`

Record version: `source-a2dcd359bb07356a69be443f794090b3e715117a71d6a34f749cec1afaa8f675`

Hub commit: `bee2df6672c145beeff064d2a203cebdbd3c5bf3`

## Access

Inspect the pinned source, nonstandard upstream terms and setup requirements. The Hub supplies a source link, not license clearance, installation or execution.

Optional inert file retrieval: `python /PATH_TO_SKILL/scripts/rsh.py fetch-source spot-sdk-python-examples-get-robot-state-get-robot-state-py --expected-source-revision 04537ddafe0641d1751af3eb9e76cb785fc18594 --expected-source-sha256 a2dcd359bb07356a69be443f794090b3e715117a71d6a34f749cec1afaa8f675 --project ./experiment --json`. This verifies one file, preserves provenance and never installs or runs it. See [source-file retrieval](https://hub.superfastrobotics.com/source-files.md).

Hub preparation adapter: **false**. Runtime verification: **not_run**.

## Invocation

```json
{
  "entrypoint": "python python/examples/get_robot_state/get_robot_state.py",
  "notes": "Use the selected pinned folder README and requirements. Robot address/credentials, feature entitlement, stored assets and SDK/robot-software alignment must be supplied upstream. This reference establishes no robot contact, license entitlement, firmware compatibility or execution result."
}
```

## Compatibility

```json
[]
```

Missing environment fields remain unknown. Source discovery labels do not establish robot compatibility.

## Evidence

Level: **source_reviewed**. Runtime verification: **not_run**.

Verified exact source, applicable license and author/setup document bytes at a full Git commit; parsed the Python AST and reviewed this guarded operational entrypoint and its explicit license notices. No upstream code, installation, robot command, dataset, mesh or checkpoint was executed or loaded.

Source review and contributor reports do not establish task completion. Preserve upstream attribution and licenses.
