Boston Dynamics builds advanced robots with remarkable behavior: mobility, agility, dexterity and speed. They use sensor-based controls and computation to unlock the capabilities of complex mechanisms. Organizations worldwide, from DARPA, the US Army, Navy and Marine Corps to Sony Corporation turn to Boston Dynamics for advice and for help creating the most advanced robots on Earth.

The exciting part of this is that Gorbel has also had a hand in helping these robots come to life. Here are two examples, one sent in by a rep and one by a distributor.

In this example you can see Gorbel blue rail helping the Big Dog robot move. Watch this video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNZPRsrwumQ
