If you have been following Google recently you will have noticed how the company seems to snapping up every robotics company and intelligence system in sight. Just in the last few months, Google has acquired Nest, the company responsible for making the smart thermostat, as well as Boston Dynamics, the robotics company. Even as recent as last week, Google splurged $400 million on the artificial intelligence specialists DeepMind Technologies.<\/p>\n

So what is Google\u2019s strategy in all of this? When you look at the number of acquisitions it becomes clear that the company is exploiting an inefficiency in the market so that it can become the leader in the field of intelligent computing. Google obviously thinks that in the future any intelligent or automation system will be served by robots. In acquiring all the related companies, Google becomes the big player before any of its competitors even get a look in. It\u2019s not just the companies that Google is snapping up but also all the expertise of the talented engineers, that will no doubt be a big bonus going forward.<\/p>\n

Google Has The Human Intelligence Behind Its Artificial Intelligence<\/strong><\/p>\n

Imagine how difficult it must be to find talented engineers and researchers in the field of robotics and artificial intelligence. No wonder Google has targeted this area and was willing to spend so much in acquiring the creme de la creme. All the resources and talent will be at Google\u2019s fingertips, ready for when it wants to progress with its artificial intelligence systems.<\/p>\n

At the moment the company is working on a type of \u2018personal assistant\u2019 through the use of Google Now, allowing information to be delivered to users via an automated, intellectual context. There is still a way to go in developing this system but it becomes clear how artificial intelligence will play a big role in its further development.<\/p>\n

So where do all the robots fit in to Google\u2019s world domination plan? It could be that robots will be employed in the data centres or even play a role in Google\u2019s driverless car plans. However, it could be that they are applied to something completely new. The technology is applicable in everything from analyzing financial data to manufacturing.<\/p>\n
