Boston Dynamics :: Advanced Dynamic Legged and Mobile Robot Design

About Boston Dynamics 

Boston Dynamics is a leading American robotics company specializing in advanced dynamic legged and mobile robot design. Founded in 1992 by roboticist Marc Raibert, former director of the MIT Leg Laboratory, the firm initially focused on government-funded research before pivoting to commercial and industrial applications in the 2010s. Headquartered in Waltham, Massachusetts, it has become a global symbol of cutting-edge robotics innovation, known for viral videos of robots performing acrobatic feats.
Core Technology

At the heart of Boston Dynamics’ work is proprietary dynamic balancing technology, which allows robots to maintain stability while moving across uneven terrain, jumping, or recovering from pushes—a stark contrast to traditional static balancing used in earlier legged robots. The company’s control algorithms integrate real-time data from onboard sensors (LiDAR, depth cameras, inertial measurement units) with advanced motion planning to enable agile, adaptive movement. In recent years, it has added machine learning to this stack to improve autonomous task execution.

Boston Dynamics is the global leader in developing and deploying highly mobile robots capable of tackling industry’s toughest challenges.
Our robots are equipped with advanced mobility, dexterity, and intelligence, enabling automation in unstructured or hard-to-traverse spaces, from industrial plants and construction sites to distribution centers and warehouses.

Our Mission

Boston Dynamics’ mission is to imagine and create exceptional robots that enrich people’s lives. We see this work as the next step in the evolution of machines that reduce the danger, repetition, and physically difficult aspects of work.

Our Vision

We are driven to create robots that will fit seamlessly into our lives and expand our potential. Boston Dynamics has just begun to scratch the surface of what robots can do, and we are excited to be building the future for today, tomorrow, and beyond.
