10 upcoming Google Projects !
from the start
what's up guys hope you're all doing
well today we will be talking about 10
ambitious Google alphabet projects you
may not have heard about Google went
through a massive reorganization in
October of 2015 when alphabet became its
parent company projects that weren't a
part of Google's core businesses such as
Google search engines and Android were
spun out into separate alphabet
companies with their own CEOs all of
these moonshot projects cover everything
from making smarter homes to creating
robots 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 ambitious moonshot projects
on the alphabet and what they hope to
accomplish
first is 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 winch to tiny robots
on the ground these robots will then
wheel the packages to a safe holding
location alphabet plans and releasing
the drone delivery service to the public
in 2017 project wing is run by Google X
the company under alphabet next up is
smart contact lenses alphabet is
pursuing smart contact lenses that are
solar-powered and collect biological
data about the wearer sensors embedded
in the contacts could collect
information like body temperature and
blood alcohol content
the tech giant also announced in 2014
that it was receiving contact lenses
that would use tiny glucose sensors to
measure sugar levels in your Cheers
the project is run by alphabets verify
company which was originally named
Google life sciences
next up internet beaming hot-air
balloons
Project loon is alphabets desire to
bring internet to two-thirds 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 solar-powered balloons fly at
a high altitude to provide broadband to
areas without internet access you can
read the specifics about how the project
works here Project loon is one under
Google X next on our list cancer
detecting pill the tech giant is
designing tiny magnet particles that can
look into signs of cancer and other
diseases in the human body the project
however is at least another four years
away from being ready for the final time
the project is being run by Google X
research lab next on our list is
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 Solara 50 has a
wingspan of 150 feet and is equipped
with 3,000 solar cells which can provide
seven 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
next up 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 mile per hour speed
record set by MIT in 1989 you can see a
list of its robotic projects here all
robot projects are run as a part of
replicant which is controlled by Google
X next on our list is longer lasting
batteries creating longer-lasting
batteries may not seem like an ambitious
project but it's actually a pretty
difficult one there is a lot of demand
for batteries that last longer when it
comes to creating popular consumer items
like smartphones 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
better experiences a small group of just
four members is currently working on
that issue under Google X
next up a giant genomic 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
reports of the system could aid in
collecting cancer genome clouds that
would allow scientists to share
information and one virtual experiments
the project is run under Google X
next up Goodes project to cure death the
tech giant has taken on the ambitious
project of extending the average
lifespan the research being done has
been kept fairly hush but we know
researchers are looking at things like
genes that correlate to longer lifespans
in certain people the project is run by
calico a company under alphabet that
stands for California Life company and
next on our list is artificial
intelligence deep mind which is the
company's AI research firm falls under
Google as a traditional product Google
has made massive strides with refining
its AI in January Google ai beats a
human at a complex game of go for the
very first time
Google's AI was also capable of learning
to play and win Atari 2600 games without
any prior instruction in 2015 more
recently a company's AI system was able
to successfully navigate a maze on a
computer game the same way a human would
so that's it for this video guys I hope
you found this video useful we will be
coming up with more interesting topics
like these so stay tuned and until next
time have a great day
