Against the field
Each strip holds every robot of this type in the guide that states the figure, one bar per group of values. Further right means a larger figure, not a better robot.

Notes
Boston Dynamics' own terms of use say the company operates its website from its location in Waltham, Massachusetts, and give its address as 200 Smith Street, Waltham.
Boston Dynamics is majority-owned by Hyundai Motor Group (South Korea), which is why the robot's country of manufacture is not simple to state.
