Remember that terrifying robot cheetah? It's getting a new owner.

A massive Japanese conglomerate is scooping up Boston Dynamics, the robotics firm behind many of the videos you may have seen online of amazing yet somewhat creepy automatons. On Friday, SoftBank said it had struck a deal to acquire Boston Dynamics from Alphabet, the parent company of Google, which had bought the robotics company in 2013 but decided last year to put it up for sale. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. "Boston Dynamics are the clear technology leaders in advanced dynamic robots," SoftBank chief executive Masayoshi Son said in a statement. "I am thrilled to welcome them to the SoftBank family and look forward to supporting them as they continue to advance the field of robotics."
