    Anyone still remembers when they said they would never use dog robots for weapon/war purposes? I do. Things always age like milk and it’s unsurprising.

      Boston Dynamics said that, and they have stuck to that commitment. IIRC it’s even in the contract when you buy a robot from them that you will not equip it with a weapon.

      This article is about Ghost Robotics, which has never made such a commitment. They are known to supply gun-equipped robots to governments at all levels.
