Google hides bold future projects in a secret lab

Google has a secret laboratory, which even many of the company's employees do not know about, and in which projects are being developed, the descriptions of which sound like a sci-fi film. About this tells in his article the publication of the New York Times.

In a lab somewhere in the San Francisco Bay area, Google’s brightest engineers are working on dozens of projects. This is the place where your refrigerator can be connected to the Internet and order products when they run out. Your plate can tell the social network what you eat. And your robot can go to the office while you're at home in your pajamas.

An unnamed Google engineer reported that the lab operates in secret mode in two different office buildings - one for logistics and one for robot projects.

Scientists working in the laboratory include employees from Microsoft, Nokia, Stanford, MIT, Carnegie Mellon and New York University. As reported, Google co-founder Sergey Brin is “deeply involved” in the project, and together with co-founder Larry Page he made a list of ideas for the laboratory.

The laboratory is headed by an expert in robotics and artificial intelligence Sebastian Tran from Stanford, known for working on the first autopilot car in the world. Andrew Angie, a Stanford professor and an equally well-known expert on AI, also works in the lab.

Google did not confirm the existence of the laboratory, but noted that Google likes to invest in risky projects. The well-known principle of 20%, which allows Google engineers to spend a fifth of their working time on personal projects, is one example of this, but the secret laboratory develops this idea further and makes you wonder which of these technologies is to become a complete product. According to sources, one product will be released by the end of this year.
