Google Robot Project for the Future

Internet giant Google has a world of new program development, namely maximizing the manufacture machine tools in Google, by making robots.

Reported by the New York Times, Thursday, December 5, 2013, one Google executive Andy Rubin admits his company is developing a robot that can support the manufacturing process.

 

It's not Google's robots for the consumer, but rather support the activities of the manufacturer or assembling electronic devices.

This project is more realistic than the adoption of the so-called drone or drones developed world online shopping site, Amazon.

Indeed, Google has pioneered the development of robots that since half a year ago. The company is based in Mountain View, Calif.-secretly has acquired seven companies humanoid robot technology.

The seven companies that includes the Schaft (humanoid robot Japanese robotics company), Industrial Perception (developers of computer vision systems and robotic arms for loading and unloading), and Redwood Meka Robotics (makers of robots and robotic lengat from San Francisco), Bot & Dolly (maker of camera systems robot), Autofuss (advanced tools for advertising and design), and Holomni (maker of high-tech wheel).

In fact, Rubin said that the company will acquire another company.

Praised

Google's plan to reap praise from scientists and analysts. Thus, in the future I can maximize their supply chain.

"It's a great opportunity," said Anderw McAfee, principal investigator at MIT's Center for Digital Business.

To pursue it, Google has recently experimented with the activity packet delivery in urban areas with Google services Shooping. "In the future, Google may have automatic delivery service shopping results to the door of your house," said Rubin.

"This project is fantastic. You have to think of time as a factor (success). Preparation We need a vision of 10 years," he said.

Field of robotics is not a new field for Rubin. Prior to joining Google, former head of Google's Android division began a career as a robotics technician. Recorded in the 1990s he worked in a German manufacturing company Carl Zeiss as a robotics technician.

"I made my hobby into a career. This is the greatest job in the world. So engineer and plumber (tinkerer). You start thinking what you want to wake up to yourself," he said.
