If you were worried that Google was plotting to take over the world with its impressively horrifying robotic creations designed with the military in mind, well there’s good news – that’s not going to happen, because Google is reportedly looking to sell off its Boston Dynamics robotics research division.

Executives at Google’s parent company Alphabet Inc. have been pushing for the sale because they don’t believe Boston Dynamics’ research efforts are likely to result in a marketable product any time soon, Bloomberg says. Alphabet is in the midst of trying to ensure that each of its business units has a reasonable revenue-generating strategy as part of a bid to attract more entrepreneurially-minded talent. Sadly for Boston Dynamics, it seems no such strategy is apparent.

Jonathan Rosenberg, a former Senior Vice President of Products at Google and current advisor to Alphabet’s CEO Larry Page, is believed to have dictated that the robotics division “cannot spend 30-plus percent of our resources on things that take ten years” saying that the time frame in which it should be generating revenues equal to the amount it spends on research should be “just a few years”.

Bloomberg reckons that Amazon.com, Inc., and Toyota Motor Corp., both of which have already made significant investments in robotics, are the most likely buyers for the division.

Google acquired Boston Dynamics fairly recently, back in 2013, and it’s efforts have been thrust into the public’s consciousness via a series of videos showcasing prototype robots on YouTube. But impressive as these videos are, Google is said to be concerned by a somewhat negative portrayal of robots in general in the media in recent months.

“There’s excitement from the tech press, but we’re also starting to see some negative threads about it being terrifying, ready to take humans’ jobs,” Google X spokeswoman Courtney Hohne is said to have told colleagues. Hohne added that they don’t “want to trigger a whole separate media cycle about where BD really is at Google.”

What’s not clear is whether the sale of Boston Dynamics means that Google is cutting back on its robotics research as a whole, or if it’s simply planning to focus its resources on those robot projects it deems to be more achievable.
