2026-10-26 (~4:47 PM ET, Ars Technica): hundreds of Boston Dynamics employees signed a petition calling for executives to halt a planned sale of robot dogs to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) (arstechnica.com/ai). A workforce-level opposition move inside a robotics company over a government procurement plan — distinct from the Atlas/Hyundai industrial bet thread, though the same company. Watch: whether the sale halts or proceeds, the company's response, and the petition's final size.
