A possible classification of the robot can be made according to the mechanical structure: Robot with fixed base (Manipulator) Robot with mobile base (Mobile Robot) Hermes Giberti Robotic Systems Design Robotics 37 Manipulator Mobile robot Hermes Giberti Robotic Systems Design Robotics 38 2UERWK« Note: a robot could also be a program! (in the context of computer science) Hermes Giberti Robotic Systems Design Mobile Robots 39 These have a mobile base and are mainly service robots. They can be divided into: Mobile robot with wheels: A rigid body (chassis) with a wheel system Mobile robot with legs: Multiple rigid bodies connected by means of joints (usually they belong to the biomimetic robotics) Hermes Giberti Robotic Systems Design Mobile Robots 44 Boston Dynamics was acquired by Google for $500 Million.SoftBank group acquired Boston Dynamics in June 2017 for an undisclosed amountOn December 10, 2020, the company was acquired by Hyundai Motor Company for $917 million.
