ICE robot dog purchase draws protest from more than 300 Boston Dynamics employeesMore than 300 Boston Dynamics employees signed a petition opposing a sale of modified Spot robots to ICE, but company executives stood by the deal. A $1.3 million Department of Homeland Security contract awarded to Radeco covers four Cerberus robots for hazardous-substance detection and remote inspection. Employees warned of hiring and retention risks, while Boston Dynamics cited safety benefits and terms prohibiting use of Spot to harm, intimidate or enable weapons.
