Dr. Michael Lynch—founder of HP Autonomy—derided HP’s lawsuit worth $5 Billion against him. Moreover, Marc Raibert—founder of Boston Dynamics—trotted out his four-legged robot, SpotMini.
However, the Startup Battlefield has always been the heart of Disrupt, and London crew this year was all set up—as always.
