Google presses the accelerator in the war of the robots. If the portal of e-commerce Amazon prepares its fleet of drones to carry out deliveries, the search engine is strengthened in robotics with the completion of the acquisition of Boston Dynamics .
This is the company, based in Waltham, Mass., which produces among others, the four-legged robot fastest in the world (almost 47 kilometers per hour). With this transaction, Google, at least for now, it becomes a military supplier, many of the Boston Dynamics robot designer have also been developed with funding came from DARPA, the division dedicated to the research of U.S. Department of Defense.
remains an air of mystery about the ultimate goal of Google linked to enlargement of his office of robots that crawl, jump and ride even on uneven terrain. Also because in the past six months it seems that the group has acquired eight companies of robotics. The initiative is led by Andy Rubin – the former number one Android, the Google operating system – and fits into those that include the creation of cars that drive themselves and flying balloons capable of providing Internet connectivity in regions remote.
