I think OP is suggesting that because Alphabet purchased Boston Dynamics in 2013, and then sold in 2017, that they were able to take their learnings from the acquisition and integrate it in-house, but haven't shown the world the extent of their capabilities. Potentially supported by the Gemini Robotics announcement highlighting extremely dexterous robots.
It's somewhat debatable based on lack of results that have made it to market.
In addition to the other comment mentioning Boston Dynamics, they are also the employers of a lot of folks that were formerly at the Open Source Robotics Foundation(?) (OSRF) (it's more complicated than that) which is behind the ROS1/ROS2 framework that are widely (not universally) used; They also have an internal division or whatever, Intrinsic Robotics (or is it Intrinsic AI? too lazy to check). Plenty of smart people that I've met are involved there!
But I remain skeptical of the top level comment's take, given the lack of any robotics product execution of note by Google for a very long time now.
Discussing with a coworker yesterday, they also pointed out the distinction I'd missed, which is that there are separate robotics groups doing research (Gemini) and applied work (Intrinsic? physicalintelligence.company; these are under the Alphabet or X projects umbrella, I infer? Really haven't paid attention.)
