What many of us have anticipated and joked about (uneasily) for years is now coming to fruition. Google is quickly assembling an army of robots. The company has acquired eight robotics companies (that we know of), and is using them for something that it is saying very little about.
What would you like to see Google do with robots? Let us know in the comments.
The initiative, as little as we really know about it, was revealed earlier this month when The New York Times
shed some light on it, saying that Google is “tight-lipped about its specific plans,” but noting that the amount of money Google is putting into it, “indicates that this is no cute science project.”
