Google Absorbs Robotics Firm Intrinsic

• Google integrates Intrinsic to enhance its robotics capabilities and compete with industry rivals.
• Intrinsic's Flowstate platform simplifies robot programming using AI, reducing coding complexity.
• The move leverages Google's AI models and infrastructure to broaden the use of AI in manufacturing.
• Partnerships, like the one with Foxconn, aim to deploy AI robots in electronics assembly.

Moonshot Landing

Alright, ladies and gentlemen, Duke Nukem here. Google's latest move? Absorbing Intrinsic, that robotics outfit from Alphabet's 'moonshot factory.' Seems like they're tired of just shooting for the moon and are ready to stomp some alien bots on Earth. Remember, I always say, 'Come get some!' and it looks like Google is finally ready to get some...robotics action.

Flowstate: No More Code Monkeying Around

Intrinsic's big thing is Flowstate, a platform that lets you build robotic applications without drowning in lines of code. Even I, Duke Nukem, can appreciate that. I'm all about efficiency. Less coding, more kicking alien butt. If you read United Airlines' Sinister Plot to Control Your Air Miles, you would agree that efficiency is important to ensure smooth operations. The idea is to let robots handle the boring stuff while we focus on the important things, like saving the world...or playing a round of poker.

AI Power Up

They're hooking Flowstate up to Google's Gemini models and Cloud. Translation? More brainpower for the bots. Makes sense. You want your robots smart, not like those alien scum I keep vaporizing. Wendy Tan White, Intrinsic's CEO, says this will 'unlock the promise of physical AI.' Sounds promising. Just hope they don't get any ideas about world domination.

Taking on the Big Boys

Google's aiming to go head-to-head with the likes of Amazon and Tesla. Competition is good. Keeps everyone on their toes. Besides, I like a good challenge myself. But let's be clear, Google, if you need any help blasting the competition into oblivion, you know who to call.

Foxconn Partnership: Robot Army Rising

And get this, they're teaming up with Foxconn to deploy AI robots in U.S. factories. That's right, a robot army assembling electronics. Sounds like a scene from one of my adventures. Just hope these bots are on our side. 'Hail to the king, baby' is what I want to hear, not some robotic gibberish.

The Future is Now

So, Google's diving deeper into robotics. Good for them. The future is coming, one robot at a time. As for me, I'll be here, ready to protect humanity from any robotic uprising...or alien invasion. You know, whatever comes first. Remember what I always say: 'I'm all outta gum.'
