7 things we learned about Boston Dynamics from '60 Minutes'
"If Willy Wonka made robots, his workshop might look something like this," Anderson Cooper said while touring Boston Dynamics' Waltham workshop. Cooper was visiting for a "60 Minutes" segment which gave a behind-the-scenes look at the company and their life-like robots. The segment titled "Boston Dynamics: Inside the workshop where robots of the future are being built" initially aired in March – a few weeks after Anderson's visit – and was rebroadcast last night. Boston Dynamics is also featured on another online segment uploaded today, regarding their efforts to help create autonomous Mars rovers. Boston Dynamics gave 60 Minutes a rare look into how it created some of the most agile robots in the world. Cooper talked to Boston Dynamics' founder, Mark Raibert, and CEO, Robert Playter, as well as other technicians and employees.
