Google has added to its portfolio of robotics acquisitions by snapping up Boston Dynamics. The company has conceived research robots for the military and is renowned for its agile robots that have a firm sense of balance. One can run faster than any human. While Boston Dynamics has not sold commercial robots, it has carried out extensive research and experimentation in the robotics field. In its early days, it consulted with Sony for consumer machines such as the robotic dog, Aibo. It works with the Pentagon, including collaboration with DARPA.
