CES Liveblog Day 2: E Ink Laptops, Robots, and More From Vegas

The bot is launching this June with other scientific equipment aboard the Dragon spacecraft on SpaceX's 15th resupply mission. Airbus hopes that CIMON's computer voice and screen face, which Gerst gave input on, will help the AI to "make friends" with the astronauts on board the space station, company representatives said in the statement.

Eisenberg told Space. CIMON will also serve to demonstrate and explore how robots, specifically robots with emotional intelligence, will interact socially with humans. The happy-looking robot ball could also be useful in hospital or social-care environments, the statement said. However, while the droid's potential applications are exciting, "there is still some way to go" before the tech is commonplace in both space and our regular lives, Eisenberg, said.

Android, however, resisted that idea. A year or two passed before the team allowed Google to review its code. Before Android, Google focused its mobile efforts on getting its apps onto other phones — like those made by Nokia or Blackberry devices. But in order to distribute Android at all, the team at Google would need to develop a phone that would run on the software.

Then, they would have to find a carrier that would sell the phone.

We went out and built the phone and then we had to build this infrastructure, this alliance, and partnerships. That meant, partnering with chipmakers, smartphone makers, and wireless carriers. All to build a phone that was seen as radically disruptive at the time. Google and the Android team basically built its first phone, the G1, as a proof-of-concept. They wanted to show potential partners what Android could do so that they would want to use it on their own phones.

Even T-Mobile, which eventually agreed to release the G1, initially refused. Carriers wanted to sell content on phones and keep all of the profits for themselves, so they were reluctant to work with any company. But T-Mobile eventually came around to the deal — largely because Android co-founder Nick Sears previously worked as a marketing executive for the carrier and was able to convince then-CEO Robert Dodson to take the deal, one source said.

Google had finally overcome one of its biggest hurdles. It had found a carrier that would launch its first Android phone. But just as Google was putting the final touches on the G1, something happened: Apple unveiled its smartphone. Rubin and his team modified their original plans and eventually shipped a phone that was much different than their original vision. The first version of the G1 had no touch screen and a slide-out keyboard and was thought to appeal more to the BlackBerry-loving crowd.

Apple was the first company to wholly bet that touchscreens would be the preferred means of interacting with computers for the foreseeable future. We had to go back and make that decision. Steve Jobs unveils the first iPhone AP. Another former Googler describes it differently.

According to Sumit Agarwal, a former head of product management at Google, the company had been developing features like pinch-to-zoom for touch-screen devices long before the iPhone was unveiled. Everybody knew that would be the future. I think Apple caused Android to go that direction more quickly.

By the growing success of the iPhone had become a problem for Verizon, one former Google employee on the Android team said. The company had no real smartphone option that could compete with the iPhone just yet. Carriers viewed the iPhone as the biggest threat to their business models. So when the iPhone was announced, it was much easier for Android to sign on with carrier partners. Compared to the iPhone, Android was a much more appealing opportunity for carriers.

Rubin and his team pitched it as a platform for developers, not consumers, which made carriers and phone manufacturers feel more comfortable. Carriers could modify the phones and add their branding, which gave them some control over the product. The original Motorola Droid Tech-Ex Although BlackBerry has fallen to the bottom of the smartphone market, it was the dominant player in the early s.

The iPhone came on strong after its launch, in , but Android was nowhere. Motorola had developed an Android-based phone. It was somewhat bulky and had a slideout keyboard. But it was the best non-iPhone on the market when it was released in The first Droid, for instance, was a combined effort on the part of Motorola, Google, and Verizon.

That became clear in the final product. Pichai has been in charge of Android for nearly two years — in March , Rubin left the Android department at Google to return to his first love: robotics.

He oversaw the robotics department at Google until he left the company in to focus on his own startup incubator, which is listed as being called Playground. Rubin is an entrepreneur at heart; he knows exactly how to build a company, and he expects all the hurdles that come with it.

Android is the strongest testament to that. Rubin was the one who made Google and the rest of the wireless industry believe he could do the impossible with Android. Get the latest Google stock price here.
