Treat the figure as a best-available estimate. Celebrity heights drift up and down by an inch depending on shoe choice, posture, and the source.
Hardware-founder physicality as a side note
Marc Raibert's height query is a downstream effect of the broader public fascination with hardware founders. Once a person becomes a cultural reference point, every data point about them becomes searchable. Height is among the least interesting facts, but also among the easiest to verify, which keeps the query alive long after the newsworthy substance has been covered.
Wikipedia's one-line framing: Chairman of Boston Dynamics.
The Raibert signal is respect for systems that have to survive contact with gravity. A hardware tee can carry that respect without pretending the floor is easy.

Where Marc Raibert lands among peers
Across the wider hardware founders field, Marc Raibert sits in a fairly typical range. The cohort spans from short-by-Hollywood-standards to noticeably tall; no single height defines the category. Boston Dynamics made control, perception, actuation, and mechanical design feel like one integrated software problem with legs.
Comparing across this group is mostly a parlor exercise, the work, the company, and the public record matter far more than any inch differential. The reason the comparison shows up in search at all is the same reason any celebrity-stat comparison does: the question is easy to ask and the answer is easy to remember.
For cross-reference among other hardware founders: Adam Bry, plus Andy Rubin, Bernt Bornich, Brett Adcock (more in the Hardware and Robotics Founders index).
