Such situations are probably also the core purpose that Boston Dynamics produces this highly complex robot model. CEO Raibert said his company has already received orders from several large businesses, and most of them are companies operating in the construction sector. In addition, Boston Dynamics is considering developing these robot models so that it can work flexibly in even more difficult environments, such as rescue, rescue or research. science…
