Engineering and robotics design company Boston Dynamics recently gave a sneak peek of its new robot on wheels to investors, and the new product is another addition to its chilling collection.

The new addition, appropriately named Handle “because it’s supposed to handle objects,” was unofficially unveiled by founder Marc Raibert in a presentation in January.

"I think it will be a nightmare-inducing robot,” Raibert said.

According to technology news site The Verge, creating an efficient robot like "Handle" would benefit the company, which has struggled to produce a commercial product.

Venture capitalist Steve Jurvetson uploaded the footage of Raibert’s presentation to YouTube. Watch the video below to learn more:

According to Bloomberg, Google's parent company — which owns Boston Dynamics — put the robotics company up for sale in March 2016 because it didn't see the company making revenue in the near future. But there has been no official word since.
