They're making their own and selling them for about 2% of the cost of the Boston Dynamics version: This LiDAR-equipped 30-pound robot dog can be yours for $1,600 . How much of the technology was actually developed independently, I have no idea.

    Yes, you can have your own robot attack dog for about the same price as a high-end gaming PC. Some assembly possibly required, and you'll have to write your own attack software based on a manual poorly translated from Chinese (if you're lucky), but what do you expect at that price point? 🤨
