GOOGLE
UPCOMING PROJECTS
Today we will be talking about 10 ambitious google alphabet project
you may not have heard about google went through a massive reorganization in October
of 2015. when alphabet become its parent company projects that weren’t a part
of Google Core businesses such a google search engine and android were spent
out into separate alphabet companies with their own CEOs. all of these moonshot
projects cover everything from making smarter homes to creating robot that can
work alongside humans but even google proper which now falls on the alphabet
still has oversight over some of these futuristic projects. here are 10 most
ambition projects on the alphabet and what they hope to accomplish.
WHAT IS
ALPHABET COMPANY?
Alphabet is an American multinational conglomerate
headquartered in Mountain View, California. It was created through a corporate
restructuring of Google on October 2, 2015, and became the parent company of
Google and several former Google subsidiaries.
1) DELIVERY DRONES
Project wing is alphabets desire to replace your
mailman with flying drones a patent filed in October of 2014 gave us better
insight as to how the project would work. the drone will lower a package using
a which to tiny robot on the ground. These robots will then wheel the packages
to safe holding location.
Alphabet planes and releasing the drone delivery
service to the public in 2017. Project wing is run by google x the company
under alphabet.
2) SMART CONTACT LENSES
Alphabet is pursuing smart contact lenses that
are (Solar power) and collect biological data about the wearer. sensors
embedded in the contacts could collect information like body temperature and
alcohol content. The tech giant announces in 2014 that it was receiving contact
lenses that would use tiny. Glucose sensor measure sugar levels in your cheers.
The project is run by alphabets verify company which
was originally named “google life sciences”.
3) INTERNET BEAMING HOT AIR BALLOONS
(ALSO CALLED LOON PROJECT)
Alphabets desire to bring internet to two-thirds
of internet of the world’s population using internet beaming hot air balloons.
The project has been in the web since 2011 about two years before it was
unveiled to the public. The Soler powered balloons fly at a high altitude to
provide broadband to areas without internet access.
Here internet beaming hot air balloons project
is one under google x.
4) CANCER DETECTING PILLS
The tech giant designing tiny magnet particles
that can look into signs of cancer and other diseases in the human body. Project is at least another four years away from
being ready for the final time. The project is being run by google x research
lab.
5) INTERNET BEAMING DRONES
-
Alphabet has two approaches to beaming the
internet around the world. Hot air balloons and drones the tech giant bought
titan aerospace which makes the solar powered drones that are built to fly
non-stop for years.
The titan aerospace, solar 50 has a wingspan of 150
feet and is equipped with 3000 solar cell which can provide sever kilowatts of
electricity to stay airborne for five years. They can also take aerial
photography the drone project is run as a part of project titan under google.
6) ROBOTS
Google turn alphabet acquired a ton of robotic
companies in 2013. One that stands out is boston dynamics. Boston dynamics creates
a number of robots inspired by animals to aid in military use the one pictured
here is called the cheetah robot the fast-legged robot in the world.
The cheetah robot can get to a speed of 29 miles
per hour crushing a 13.1 miles per hour speed record set by MIT. You can see a
list of its robotic here all robot projects are run as a part of replicant
which is controlled by google x.
7) LONG LASTING BATTERY’S
-
Creating long lasting batteries may not seems
like an ambitious project but it’s actually a pretty difficult one. There is a
lot of demand batteries that last longer when it comes to creating popular
consumer items like smartphone.
The alphabet CEO Larry page told analysts in
2013 that battery life and mobile devices is a huge issue with real potential
to invent new and batter experiences. A small group of just four members is
currently working on that issue under google x.
8) GIANT GENOMICS STORING SERVICES
-
Google will store your genome in the cloud for
$25 and the storage system could have a major impact on the scientific
community. The hope is to collect millions of genomes to aid in scientific
research as MIT review report of the system could aid in collecting cancer geonomy
could that would allow scientists to share information and one virtual experiment.
The project is run under google x.
9) AI (ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE)
Google has made massive strides with refining
its AI. in January google beat a human at a complex game of go for the very
first time. Google AI was also capable of learning to play and win Atari 2600
games without any prior instruction in 2015.
-
More recently a company AI system was able to
successfully navigate a maze on a computer game. The same way a human world.
10) SPACE EXPLORATION
-
The buzz about going to space has been in a
hype, every since Richard Branson of Virgin Airlines and Elon Musk of Tesla and
Space-X joined the space race. Google too has its eyes set on going back to
space. In fact, Google has leased a NASA airfield for 60 years for a cost of
$1.16 billion, with a promise to upgrade its facilities and help educate people
about the importance of space exploration.
-
Basically, Google is offering a cash reward of
$20 million to whoever accomplishes three things: land a robot on the surface
of the Moon, make it move at least 500 meters on, above, or below the surface
of the Moon, and finally send back HDTV streams to Earth for us to enjoy.
