Alphabet, the parent company of Google, has just agreed to sell its robotic research subsidiary Boston Dynamics to the Japanese specialist in SoftBank telecommunications.
The details of the transaction between the two companies remain confidential for the time being, but Alphabet had already indicated its intention to part with Boston Dynamics in March 2016. On the other hand, the fact that Alphabet made the decision to sell Its most advanced and most advanced subsidiary in the field of robotic and humanoid innovation seems to indicate the firm's intention to break away from this sector. Boston Dynamics is a company created by MIT that has been innovating in robotics for 25 years and is considered one of the leading leaders in this field.
Boston Dynamics has even received government aid through the Department of Defense and its Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. These funds enabled it to invest and develop robots that can be adapted in the urban and military environment. His latest jewelry is a robot with two arms and two legs mounted on wheels and capable of physical performance that man is not able to achieve.
Finally, in addition to the acquisition of Boston Dynamics, SoftBank also bought from Alphabet the company Schaft specializing in humanoid innovation. Schaft was originally a Japanese company and this acquisition seemed important for SoftBank to consolidate its development.
