It was never clear what they intended to do with them, but I assumed it was to be a marriage of AI and machine. You know, like they had a plan

They didn't buy them that long ago did they?

Didn't the Marine Corps recently reject the new bots as too noisy to be of use in the field?

I'd imagine that could trigger a desire to bail out.

The latest ones are much quieter than the originals. I guess it's just a case of progression.

They didn't want to sell to the military anyway, but the were obligated to continue the contracts.

Seems strange that they have suddenly lost interest - although the guy who pushed heavily for robotics, Andy Rubin, left Google in December 2014.
