Does Boston Dynamics have any products that are actually in production? I feel like I've been seeing their videos for 20+ years and I've never seen any BD product in person.

Maybe that security dog that came out a few years ago. I know my company ordered some to guard warehouses.

Our local Kaiser hospital had one of those Dalek-looking security robots from another robotics company patrolling their parking garage for a while. Not sure what exactly the robot was supposed to do if something was happening, though. Spin around and wave its manipulators while shouting ALARM! ALARM!?

Boston Dynamics brought one of the dogs to our office one day to demonstrate what it could do. The most useful thing it can do is stop ppl in their tracks because they're going to be staring at the robot dog as it's jumping up and down.
