Original: ICE wants robot dogs. Boston Dynamics' workers urge company to 'cancel the sale'
Boston Dynamics employees are urging the robotics company to cancel a sale of its robot dogs to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, according to a petition reported by WBUR. The workers oppose their technology being used for immigration enforcement, reviving debate over how the company's robots are deployed.
