Google’s parent company Alphabet is committed to bringing robots to the office to perform daily tasks. The robot is provided by X-Alphabet’s moon landing factory, which is a professional team focused on solving next-generation problems.
Since its establishment in 2010, some of the famous projects launched by the Moon Landing Factory include Google Glass, giant balloons that transmit the Internet to remote corners of the world, sustainable wind energy using kites, and Waymo for automated transportation.

X-Alphabet’s team is building robots to learn office tasks, including wiping tables, sorting garbage, opening doors, and arranging chairs in conference rooms. This paves the way for robots that move in an office environment. Robots can perform simple human tasks, but they can also coexist with humans. As X-Alphabet envisioned with this method, the future is to bring robots into the real environment and learn how to respond to changes.
These robots are learned in an office-based environment, which initially requires nearly four months of training. Over time, the X-Alphabet team made improvements, reduced the training time to one day, and achieved a 90% accuracy rate. These robots will initially enter Alphabet’s Mountain View office.
