Google already has self-driving cars, so self-aware robots with artificial intelligence are the next logical step, right?
To kick things off, „Google hopes to create robots for use in industrial settings, like factories [and they’re already] experimenting with delivering packages in urban areas, building upon that existing technology is a no-brainer.“
Dvice says that „the company has also bought several robotics and AI companies in both the U.S. and Japan and are looking to purchase more. Although, the company calls the robotics division a ‚moonshot,‘ the idea is to get robots on the market as soon as possible. If that’s the case, sign me up for the first robot maid. Who cares if it might become self-aware and bring on the apocalypse?“
