You're defending Boston Dynamics for some reason.
The US military and police aren't defense. They're offense. That's the problem, and that's what these robots were always for.
Thousands of companies work in robotics. Boston Dynamics, owned by Hyundai is only one of them. They sell to many different clients all over the world having various different projects or goals, security related and not. I have no reason to dislike a robotics company. I have no problem with anyone selling a piano. I have a problem with a piano buyer launching that piano towards someone else for no good reason.
Boeing makes military stuff too, yet tourists on vacation support them wearing shorts, a margarita in hand. And guess how much gasoline and diesel Exxon and Chevron sell to the military each year. No, Boston Dynamics in no where near any of my concerns.
