The robot extends in the mobile phone with outside
The robot platform that google designs will be stretching out one’s hand and entering STBs beyond the cellular telephone, the TV, VoIP telephone, sings the photo frames of case and figure in Karaoka.
World of the robot is spreading in Asia rapidly. Software developer, supplier and all of systematic companies are driving fast to the same goal: The ones that can enable this development are thin and meaning, the efficient consumer products are set up on Linux, open the source and free software.
Only if smart phone, the products based on embedding of the robot may not reach the market of the commerce here until early 2011.
But KDDI, Japan telecommunication service provider, for example, it is reported all the time that cooperates with Motorola in developing course of putting of top based on robot.
CEATEC, Japan reveal whether show electron heavy most including prototype robot carry put ” Through the embedding software fund (OESF) opening Enable and deal in generality, ” According to group President Masataka Miura.
OESF is set up and set up a feasible platform based on robot for the products of many kinds of embedding in Japan in February. The group, made up of 25 companies, will establish several work groups, will include: STBs; VoIP; Network and security; Measurement and controlling; Systematic core; Application and service; And sell and education.
Members include the arm, KDDI, the Japanese telegram laboratory, the electron on high mountain and Fujitsu’s software engineering. Miura says more and more semiconductor companies to participating in, including the instrument of Texas, Intel, Marvell, Freescale, Qualcomm and Renesas technology is interested. OESF plans to open the office in Taiwan and South Korea this summer.
This year ” It will be a key seeing every year the robot will be successful, ” Jim McGregor says, main technological strategist in the statistical data. ” So far, compare with other great majority on the basis of Linux, it seems that there are more market momentums and less traps, open and rise the solution of those markets. ” It is more important, ” It has a google brand behind it, this is very strong, ” He adds.
OESF has not got financial support from google. Google it is reported welcome, increase in propagate in various embedding Asian of robot in the system making interestedly of the OEMs and ODMs.
PC OEMs like Hewlett-Packard and AsusTeK has already made theirs public to using arm and Linux for the interest of their netbooks, compared with major note-book, expect to be sold at low price.
The robot is appearing in the electronic paper tool of the electronic ink too. Motor-cross preliminary contest develop group, but say only a technological demonstration and ship a kind of product.
OESF of Japan emphasize robot momentum very fast and how about it will be spacious floor, lengthen so as to outside in netbooks. Its initial focus will be carried and put the case. Confirm what let was carried, the robot will be used in Motorola ” Au case, ” According to Miura. IP that this kind of product is basically many kinds of uses of KDDI confirms carrying or a family passway, aim at, can drive broadcast that move that repair collection, he explain.
Miura notices the electric company of the civil company’s Japan’s victory of electronics industry of that Japan is considering the development of a robot TV too.
Robot Laszo
McGregor in the statistical data summarizes the appeal of the robot in 4 words: ” Linux, ” ” Open the source, ” And ” Free. ” The free part is very attractive naturally, because it can reduce the cost of software notably.
In addition, McGregor says, the robot designs and uses around the smart phone model ” OS the true only as ones that imbed kernel. ” He explains, ” With the former mobile phone, including user’s interface, compared with the situation while employing the browser, other software pile and play a more important role. ”
In other words, ” This piece set up, have appeal [beyond cellular telephone ] become, join Internet kernel model that imbed to other circumference error as them and to the concrete usage When the model is aimed at. ”
The robot imbeds the kernel model, however, may be a hollow-ground sword.
” The robot is still very basic and preliminary today. As issues of products early in the morning, it need one improvement can with apt to receive source platform really commercially still, ” Co-founder and the president of zoomMediaPlus, fisherman Chris says.
Must build their own user’s interface and basic application as a calendar or database while planning to develop the circumference error supplier based on apparatus of the robot. They must go to their platform to optimize and apply too, the fisherman says. ” The robot has not offered tools to analyze and optimize performance yet, so that the consumer products which you can build, ” He adds.
The fisherman says the robot does not become one and can use commercially yet, open in the platform of the source. It needs more innate ability to compete with characteristic and performance of the smart phone like iPhone.
Until it expires, the circumference error seller needs correctly ” Bring the robot, customize it and enable it as being their own, ” Fisherman warning it. ” Most persons moving know this, but is moving, do I think there is a lot of naivet Luo in the maturity about the robot outside?
That is that a fisherman hopes with the place where his new company zoomMediaPlus is full of gaps. The company builds the test of the performance of products allowing the robot developer to appraise and optimize them, measurement, assess tools. Applying and ability here that a part that it develops robot SDK with basic non-performance too offers.
” We hope the ‘ non-current company ‘ of help utilize the robot rapidly and effectively, ” The fisherman says.
