It's robotics, which is an actually difficult technology. What Boston Dynamics has achieved in the past two decades is impressive.
It took decades for computers, after they appeared in government projects, to become ubiquitous. There were many problems to solve.
In our era, we're just used to average companies hyping up piddling, niche products by calling them new technologies. Sure, if the 'technology' is an electric juicebag squeezer or something, someone can get it from research to market within a year.
All that is aside from whether it's a good idea to thrust robots into the world as quickly as possible. Between robots and AI, we could lose a billion jobs in a short time period.
