The robots are coming! You can put your head in the sand and hope all day that this isn’t true, or isn’t going to happen anytime soon, but you are only kidding yourself. One design we keep seeing with robots is the four-legged “dog-like” model. And there is a company that has a robot just like this, which is so cool and so functional that a major company bought the company that manufactures them.
On the 19th, Amazon acquired Rivr, a Zurich, Switzerland-based robotics startup known for its stair-climbing delivery robot. The acquisition was announced, although financial terms were not disclosed. Rivr had previously raised about 25 million dollars and was valued at around 100 million dollars.
