Dystopian wobbly robots are not what Google was searching for. As reported today by Bloomberg, Google is selling Boston Dynamics, makers of such indelible robots as dog-mimicking BigSpot; the too-loud-for-the-Marines robot mule LS3; and Atlas, the DARPA-sparked humanoid rescue robot we all saw get beaten up last month.

Google first bought Boston Dynamics in 2013, and Bloomberg reports that the plan to sell it comes after culture clashes within the larger Google enterprise and the lack of a deliverable product.

That first product was supposed to be the LS3, or Legged Squad Support System. Walking like a headless horse, the machine could carry 400 pounds of gear wherever Marines went. It just couldn't do it quietly, and after trials at war games in Hawaii, the Marines decided not to buy the robot. The Marines also tested Spot, a smaller Boston Dynamics robot dog, but there are other, cheaper options for robots that peak into a room before Marines get there.
