On Friday Google confirmed that it
had completed the purchase of Boston Dynamics, a military grade robotic
engineering company that has designed mobile research robots for the
Pentagon (VIDEO).
Executives
at the Internet giant are very cautious about what exactly they plan to
do with their robot collection, but Boston Dynamics and its machines
can bring significant cachet to Google’s robotic efforts.
Boston Dynamics was founded in 1992 by Marc Raibert, a former professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
