Start-ups: Sprechende Fabelwesen: Strategiechef von Boston Dynamics startet eigene Robotik-Firma
Wie der Deutsche Marc Theermann mit Robotern Freizeitparks, Hotels und Casinos erobern will. Und was sein neues Unternehmen Dynamic Creatures mit „Muppet-Show“ und „Sesamstraße“ verbindet.
Berlin - More than five years ago, Marc Theermann served as the Chief Strategy Officer for Boston Dynamics. Now, he boldly ventures into the world of entrepreneurship alongside robotics expert Farbod Farshidian. Theermann reportedly told the Handelsblatt, "From the beginning, I told Boston Dynamics' CEO that I only wanted to join his company to learn more and later build companion robots."
Companion robots are social robots that accompany, communicate with, and support people in everyday life. Theermann intends to manufacture these with his new startup, Dynamic Creatures. The former US-based Theermann played a crucial role in the success of Boston Dynamics, one of the most well-known robotics companies globally. He claims, "We have shown the world that it is possible to bring four-legged robots to market and make them profitable."
Although Boston Dynamics, now majority-owned by the South Korean Hyundai conglomerate, does not disclose figures, investor reports suggest annual revenue has reached $300 million.
