Our Reading
The announcement sounds ambitious.
Boston Dynamics has lost its CEO, Robert Playter, after 30 years with the company. He’s had a varied career, including six years at the helm. Playter’s departure is sudden, with no explanation given. This follows a familiar script.
The company has been working on various projects, including robots and autonomous systems. Playter’s departure comes at a time when Boston Dynamics is rebranding its products as “advanced robotics” solutions.
This is not the first time the company has rebranded its technology. Remember when they called their robots “legged robots” and now they’re “advanced robotics”? Yeah, that’s not new.
Original Observation: Boston Dynamics is just replacing one old boss with another.
