Soon – Hello Google Droid Robot
Recently it was revealed that Google was buying up robotics companies and planning some kind of moonshot in robotics technology that would change the game in robotics. Google will be combining superior robot vision, arms and wheel systems.
Google only thinks in terms of ambitious objectives like their robotic car project and doubling everyones life expectancy (Calico). So what is Google's objective with robotics ?
It is a revolution in personal robotics.
Next year there will be 1.25 billion smartphones shipped and most of those will be Google Android phones.
185 million android tablets will ship in 2014
Meanwhile personal robot sales are about one million vacuum robots per year with about ten million total installed in 2014.
There are one million industrial robots.
It is like we are in the computer world before the IBM PC.
We are in the internet age before the Netscape browser.
The pieces are there but the standards and ease of use have not been put together.
Google wants to put together the standard platform for a personal robotics revolution.
