The media went crazy on the fact that Google bought the 8 leading US companies that produce robots.
What it does tell you?
– the robot technology now is out of its infancy and ready to hit the mass market
-Google has exhausted the exponential growth in phone, tablet, Android devices. Yes there are still the wearable devices (such as Google glasses), but they already know (as they own 80% of the research data, that it is not a big market
– Robotic devices instead could be the solution for various issues from assistance to the aging population (or substitution of aging population in manufacturing) and personal assistant to warfare and space discovery.
Welcome to a new era
