Why did a €12 billion AI defense company buy a robot dog startup? Helsing's Keybotic acquisition exposes Europe's critical infrastructure vulnerability.

Caltech has teamed up with the Technology Innovation Institute (TII) to create a robotic symbiosis between a Unitree G1 humanoid robot, and their own hybrid drone prototype – the Morphobot M4. This autonomous duo is able to carry out safety-sensitive operations without any human interaction. The G1 carries M4 to a good launch point, deploys…
