Start-ups: Talking mythical creatures: Boston Dynamics strategy chief launches his own robotics company
How German Marc Theermann wants to conquer amusement parks, hotels and casinos with robots. And what his new company Dynamic Creatures has in common with “Muppet Show” and “Sesame Street”.
Marc Theermann, former strategy chief at Boston Dynamics, is leaving the company to start his own business, Dynamic Creatures, with robotics expert Farbod Farshidian. Theermann had told Boston Dynamics' CEO from the start that he planned to learn from the company and eventually build companion robots. Companion robots are social robots that accompany and support humans in everyday life.
Theermann, who helped make Boston Dynamics a leading robotics company, says they showed it's possible to bring four-legged robots to market profitably. Boston Dynamics, now majority-owned by South Korea's Hyundai, reportedly has a revenue of $300 million.
