🇺🇸Boston Dynamics has had contracts with various organizations, including the military, but it is not directly owned by the Pentagon. However, in December 2020, The New York Times reported that Boston Dynamics had secured a $10 million contract with the U.S. Army to develop a robot dog, named Spot, for use in combat zones.

The robot dog, Spot, is designed to assist soldiers in a variety of tasks such as carrying equipment or scanning areas that may be hazardous. The contract has raised concern among some lawmakers and activists who worry about the development of autonomous weapons or the use of robots in warfare.

The company has also worked with DARPA, a U.S. government agency responsible for developing advanced technologies for military use, on various projects including robots designed for disaster relief and other emergency situations.

It is worth noting, however, that Boston Dynamics has stated that it is committed to using its robots for peaceful and productive purposes and that it does not develop weapons. (AI)
