According to the Robot Report, Boston Dynamics is accusing Ghost Robots of violating seven of its patents related to the company's well-known Spot quadruped.
Spot, the first robot to hit the market, came out first, and that's why a lawsuit is unsurprising. Ghost Robotics introduced its first model, the Spirit 40, in 2020, and its second model, the Vision 60, a year later.
Boston Dynamics sent multiple cease-and-desist letters to Ghost Robotics after they were asked to review their patents just a few months after Spirit 40 was released. Boston Dynamics wants to take Ghost Robotics to court because they didn't stop and stop.
Boston Dynamics wouldn't comment on the specifics of pending litigation. We expect all companies to respect intellectual property rights, and we will take action when those rights are violated.
It was inevitable that a lawsuit would be filed as the same thing happened again. Boston Dynamics has become a major market player, but it is still relatively young. There is an opportunity for a precedent to be set, and the outcome of this case could well determine whether Boston Dynamics' grip on the market will get even tighter, or if it will have to concede a fair amount of market share to its competitors.
We don't know how the court case will play out, but maybe we should switch up the breeds of these mechanical mutts. Something with short legs, like a chihuahua or a wiener dog, could be helpful. The mechanics might be the same, but they wouldn't look the same. Please don't have guns.
Ghost Robotics was sued by Boston Dynamics for copying its dog.
The experts were shocked by the military dog with the rifle attachment.
