Η Google acquired the well-known robotic technique company Boston Dynamics. We know the company from previous publications. She is known for her scary quadrupeds with funny steps. Products the company has introduced in recent years include BigDog, a motorized robot that can handle ice and snow, Cheetah that runs at 29 miles per hour, and a strange humanoid named PETMAN. The news about the deal market of the company by Google, were announced Friday by the New York Times. There was no mention of Google's future plans.
Specific details on the price and terms of the deal are currently unknown, though Google told the NYT that existing contracts - including one of the $ 10.800.000 dollars signed earlier this year with the US Defense Research Organization. (DARPA) - should be honored. Despite agreeing with DARPA, Google says it does not intend to become a military company, according to the Times.
In a tweet, however, Google's Andy Rubin said that "the future looks great."
