NS google browser It will rely on the help of robots to organize some of its offices in United State. The company will use the machines developed by X Corporation, its innovation division the alphabetand that they can perform multiple tasks.
X’s head of robotics projects, Hans-Peter Brondmow, said in a statement that the division already operates more than 100 robotic prototypes in its offices. The devices can perform a variety of functions, such as organizing trash, cleaning tables, organizing chairs, and opening doors..
“Now that we see signs that a general purpose education bot can be created, we will move away from the X rapid prototyping environment to focus on expanding into some Google offices,” he said.
Created in the Everyday Robots project, Bots will coexist with Google employees in the coming months As part of testing in uncontrolled environments.
Machines have wheels for moving and levers for handling objects. At the top are cameras and sensors that help determine the location.

According to Brundmo, The goal is to increase the list of tasks that the robot performs and the buildings in which it works.. Expansion is considered viable because of the way the machine has been developed.
The company says that its robot differs from other robots that are programmed to perform a specific task in structured environments. Instead, the idea is that X machines are able to act in different scenarios.
“We believe that for robots to be useful in the unstructured and unpredictable places where we live and work, they cannot be programmed: they have to learn,” Brondmo said.
“By using a combination of machine learning techniques such as reinforcement learning, cooperative learning, and experiential learning, robots have gained a better understanding of the world around them and become more adept at everyday tasks,” he continued.
