Several robotics companies, including Boston Dynamics, are pledging not to support the weaponization of their products and are calling for others in the industry to do the same, according to a letter shared first with Axios.

Details: The open letter highlights the erosion of consumer trust in robots as among the reasons not to allow them to be used as weapons.
