Boston Dynamics

Boston Dynamics is a robotics company founded in 1992 as a spin-off from MIT, initially focused on legged locomotion and dynamic systems. The company gained widespread public attention through viral videos of its humanoid robot Atlas and quadruped robot Spot, which demonstrated remarkable agility, balance, and problem-solving capabilities. Originally acquired by Google in 2013, Boston Dynamics was later transferred to Alphabet's X Development Lab, then to SoftBank in 2017, and subsequently to Hyundai Motor Group in 2020. The company has become synonymous with cutting-edge robotics research and development, pushing the boundaries of what autonomous machines can physically accomplish.
