Creator of Android now leads the robotics division for Google - TeK.sapo

When the creator of Android abandoned the project leadership to Andy Rubin announced that Google would work on other projects secret until then. It is now known that American technology is investing enough money in robotics and the former leader of Android is responsible for this area.

According to information compiled by the New York Times the giant technology is more interested in the application of robots in manufacturing equipment properly in the area that sell these equipments to the final consumer. Using robots for movement of goods is also one of the advanced possibilities.

During the last year Google bought seven companies will have to create a new era in robotics. Without disclosing values ??of investment, the NYT says efforts driven by the company are not a “funny science project.”

Andy Rubin have said that a project of this nature needs to be thought of in the medium term and that time is a factor to be taken into account. The Google executive already has experience in robotics, having worked in this field for Carl Zeiss before he built Apple in the 90s.

In an interview with American newspaper Andy Rubin have compared the project that is developing a level of intelligence and pragmatism, the brushes of a car that can activate themselves when water is detected in glasses. The official confirmed that software and hardware are being developed so that the same team can have access to the full “package”.

The former leader of Androi have managed to convince Larry Page and Sergey Brin that currently there is sufficient so that they can develop superior automation systems technology. Andy Rubin also used a comparison with the design of the Google driverless cars, something that seemed science fiction and it is steps of becoming a mass reality.

A Google-a have been reinforced by buying companies in the U.S. and Japan, who have experience in creating robots with mobility and specific parts – hands for example -. already quite functional

It is unclear whether the new division will keep Google is connected to the company or if it will evolve into a spin-off independent.
