It seems like Google, the world-famous US tech giant, is getting increasingly interested in companies developing various robots. Some experts say that the real reason for this fact is that the contemporary market of mobile devices is oversupplied with millions of mobile devices powered by Andorid, iOS and other mobile operating systems. Therefore, the world’s leading tech companies are shifting their focus to other sectors.
Not so long ago, Google introduced Google Glass (the glasses will come into market in 2014). This device merges reality and virtuality. Google is an information-dependent company. Therefore, it needs more data to be collected than it is done now by individuals and groups in general. Robots can become a good alternative to collecting and analyzing data. The will improve mapping methods, will enter the outer space and chance a lot of aspect of human lives.
Still, some people are afraid that robots may leave millions of people jobless. Drones can expand the area of our senses, if we may say so. Robots may manufacture things, take care of people, perform surgeries, do housewife jobs, join the police to maintain the order etc.
In becomes more and more obvious that those tech companies that fail to invest in robotics today, will find themselves lagging behind the leaders in 5-10 years. On the contrary, those companies that are actively investing in robotics these days, will be the ultimate helpers of tuning the relations between humans and robots.
Meanwhile, Google’s stock seems to never stop rallying. At this point, it has resumed the rally after a minor retracement. The chart below, courtesy of Masterforex-V Academy, reflects the current state of affairs in the market of GOOG:
