"Boston Dynamics is an engineering company that specializes in robotics and human simulation. Our customers have applications that range from military robotics to simulation-based training to physics-based virtual prototyping."

Some of their clients include the United States Army, Navy and Marines, and... the Sony Corporation? Ohhh, I see. They needed to build a humanoid.
