I guess technically this is inanimate TF, but you know... robots, pretty mobile. Probably somewhere in between! Spot is such a cute machine, just had to try drawing it. <3

It would be a disorienting change for sure! Mind would shift down into the chassis where the processors are, but senses would be all over the place, since Spot has cameras in the claw, on the front of the chassis, both sides, and the rear! Would be like a spider's eyes I think, seeing from all directions at once and in color spectrums we can't comprehend! :D
I did keep the claw as the "head" focus just for artistic convenience. XD

Actually, reading up on the basic model + arm, its view is only monochrome stereoscopic and the camera in the arm—and that's it. https://www.bostondynamics.com/spot/technology
Now, you could add a 360deg camera or even a LIDAR, which would both have their quirks. The 360deg camera would be in color, but it wouldn't give depth and it would only be in one direction at a time. The LIDAR would be the opposite—it would only measure the distances everything is away, and only the closest thing. So with that he could see where everything is, but not if it is deep or even if it was solid. https://www.bostondynamics.com/spot.....ology#payloads
Oh, and his standard vision is only good out to about 4m.

It'd get extra freaky with the LIDAR unit. As well as the B&W 4M range images, they would have a perfect 100M view 360deg around them, showing basically bands of color where the color represents how far away the thing is. It's a really spooky way of seeing distance without stereoscopic vision.
