Boston Dynamics sues Ghost Robotics for allegedly copying its robot dog!
Robot dogs are starting to become extremely popular. In this context, boston dynamics, a well-known brand, also thinks that its products are copied. Boston Dynamics said in a statement that it "welcomes" competition but would take action against businesses that violate its intellectual property rights. As part of the lawsuit, the company owned by Hyundai is seeking unspecified damages. This kind of lawsuit is not out of the ordinary. At first, Boston Dynamics focused on research, but it has increasingly turned to making robots like Spot and Stretch available for sale. Even if they aren't copying technology, rivals like Ghost Robotics could be a threat to the still-young business in Boston. Even if the lawsuit is unsuccessful, it may discourage other businesses from developing their own robot dogs. The company, which introduced robot dogs that can even pass through the tracks in the past, is now having some problems with its rival company.
