A robotics engineer says they quit after learning their team planned to demo teleoperated weapons on Boston Dynamics/Unitree.

Good call walking away; “teleoperated demo” is still weapons R&D and it normalizes the supply chain. If you’re building a new venture, bake in a written use-policy, customer vetting, and a hard kill-switch/geo-fence requirement so you’re not pressured into the same corner later.

Lock “demo mode” so it can’t be quietly turned into deployment later, using remote attestation on the control stack plus signed audit logs you can actually review.
