Boston Dynamics has finally started to pivot from research towards manufacture of commercial products, with the following uses as priority:

\- entertainment - the first and easiest scenario

\- emergency response - eg search and rescue, surveillance

\- Security - think about automating property line walks etc.

Longer term, they see their devices:

\- warehouse logistics - although not clear why a wheeled robot isn’t a better fit

\- parcel delivery - jumping from the back of a truck to deliver a parcel

\- construction - perhaps an extension of emergency response, robots could carry heavy loads around sites

\- caregiving - the ultimate scenario with the most complex requirements
