      My understanding is that robots in warehouses like these are controlled by a central computer system that manages their movements, etc. It makes sense to have a central authority that manages all activity in an enclosed environment.

      Whereas the Boston Dynamics ones are largely self contained. A number of years ago they developed a 4-legged “Pack bot” as a proof of concept. It was designed to carry hundreds of pounds of supplies and follow soldiers as they hiked through all sorts of terrain.
