Is Boston Dynamics becoming a boring robotics company?

Boston Dynamics has made a name for itself through fascinating videos of biped and quadruped robots doing backflips, opening doors, and dancing to Uptown Funk. Now, it has revealed its latest gadget: A robot that looks like a huge overhead projector on wheels. It's called Stretch, it doesn't do backflips, it doesn't dance, and it's made to do one task: moving boxes. But this could, in fact, become the most successful commercial product of Boston Dynamics and turn it into a profitable company. Stretch has a box-like base with a set of wheels that can move in all directions. On top of the base are a large robotic arm and a perception mast.
