Σύμφωνα με δημοσίευμα της Wall Street Journal ο Andy Rubin, νυν επικεφαλής του τμήματος ρομποτικής της Google και δημιουργός του λειτουργικού συστήματος Android, συνεργάζεται στενά με τη Foxconn, ήδη από τον προηγούμενο χρόνο.
Η Foxconn became known to the general public as the main sub-manufacturer of Apple devices. Of course, Apple is not the only company with which the Chinese company works.
One of Foxconn's most recent collaborations with US companies is about working with Google, in the field of robotics. According to Wall Street Journal, Andy Rubin, now head of Google's robotics division and creator of the Android operating system, has been working closely with Foxconn since last year.
The head of Foxconn, Terry Gou and Andy Ruben of Google, have reportedly met and discussed the latest developments in robotics technology in an effort to speed up the introduction robot on Foxconn's production lines. For its part, Google would like to see its robotics applications to be tested in practice.
Η Google κατά τους τελευταίους μήνες έχει προχωρήσει σε σημαντικές εξαγορές εταιρειών ρομποτικής. Μόνο κατά τον προηγούμενο χρόνο εξαγόρασε οκτώ εταιρείες, συμπεριλαμβανομένης της Boston Dynamics, known for building robots that simulate animal movement, such as the BigDog, WildCat, Cheetah and Atlas models.
Market estimates, they want Google to design robots for their absorption in industrial electronics, where work is mostly done manually today. Google is also reported to want to enter the product distribution sector as well. On the other hand, Foxconn wishes to automate its factories, mainly after rising labor costs in China. In addition, Foxconn faces ongoing complaints about working conditions at its premises in China. A massive use of robots would quickly and effectively solve their problems.
