About the company

Boston Dynamics designs and sells advanced legged robots to improve safety and efficiency in industrial and research settings. Its products, such as Spot and Pick, use onboard AI to perceive the environment, balance and navigate complex terrain, and autonomously avoid obstacles, enabling tasks that are dangerous or physically demanding for people. Spot is a mobile, 65-pound robot that can traverse stairs, uneven surfaces, and rough terrain, while Pick focuses on manipulation for robotics workflows. The company differentiates itself through its focus on mobility, dexterity, and safety, maintaining US-made production, and offering controlled sales plus ongoing maintenance, training, and support to commercial, industrial, and academic clients rather than consumer buyers. The goal is to augment human workers by handling risky or monotonous tasks, increasing safety and productivity across industries.

Boston Dynamics staff petition against selling Spot robot dogs to ICE amid $100M expansion

Boston Dynamics employees have petitioned the company to block the sale of its Spot robot dogs to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). They fear the deal will hurt hiring and retention. The company says it has worked "productively" with the Department of Homeland Security for years, and that no customer has violated its sales terms. Those terms ban using Spot to harm or intimidate people or animals, or as a weapon. If a customer misused Spot, the company said, it would void the warranty, refuse software updates, end the licence, and possibly take legal action. The backlash comes as Boston Dynamics builds a $100 million robotics and AI facility in Waltham, Massachusetts. The project is set to create 1,250 jobs by 2033. The petition warns the deal "makes Boston Dynamics a less attractive employer.

Boston Dynamics' interim CEO on selling Spot at up to $300,000 and scaling Atlas with Hyundai

Boston Dynamics is shifting from showcasing robots to selling them at scale, according to Amanda McMaster, its chief financial officer for six years and interim chief executive officer from February until Rohit Prasad took over on October 7. "Inbound demand at some point dries up," she told Fortune's Most Powerful Women Summit. "You need a proactive sales motion." Spot, its four-legged robot, costs about $100,000 for the base platform and up to $300,000 depending on payloads. Intel is one of its largest customers. For the Atlas humanoid, actuators make up roughly 70% of the bill of materials. Hyundai Mobis will produce them at cost, and Hyundai has committed to about 50,000 robot deployments across Hyundai Motor and Kia facilities. McMaster's playbook: "Control your cost and then get to scale fast.
