I don't know if it was Boston Dynamics that supplied it. I was at an open house with my grandson at the local airfield a couple of years ago, and Boston Dynamics was there with some of their military hardware. They let the kids take turns driving a remote control military robot. The guys showing it off were obviously engineers.
They had some models on display, with machine guns and sensors, which had been used in Iraq. One model looked like a small remote control turretless tank. It had sensors but no weapons, weighed about 25 pounds (10 kg). The engineer told me the Marines used them in Iraq. In one incident, the Marines were on the ground floor a building, with "insurgents" on the second floor. They tossed the minirobot satchel-style in a window, to get a look-see where the terrorists were. The terrorists jumped out the windows, into the field of fire of the grateful Marines. I love that story.
The robotics company you want to keep an eye out for is Cyberdyne Systems out of California. They’re going places, trust me.
