Boston Dynamics latest splash in the world of robotics could have ripple effects in Mass.

13:05

Boston's robotics scene just welcomed a new member.

Its name is Atlas, made by Boston Dynamics. It runs on electricity, can swivel most of its body parts in 360 degrees. Despite previous claims that they'd never sell a version of the bot, the company now says it is going to, so Atlas could soon come to a warehouse near you

What does that mean for Boston's growing robotics industry? And for the future of employment in the commonwealth?

Boston Globe business reporter Aaron Pressman joins Radio Boston to discuss.

This segment aired on April 18, 2024.
