2014 the year of robotics for apple and amazon

In this article it talks about how Amazon has announced that they will be offering their amazon prime air service. This service is a small drone that takes packages to clients (package has to be 5 pounds or less). Amazon says how the air service would be legally-flight ready. This has been a long process because the Avilation Administration are still making rules to allow companies to use drones.

  Apple is investing a big part of it's $10.5 billion of capital expenditures for 2014 in factoring robotics to help the production of iPad, iphone and other apple products. All this information was reporte in November by Bloomberg. Following the November purchase of Israel-based prime scene, announced they may also develop new artificial intelligence innovations. These innovations also helped design the 3-D depth sensors for the Microsoft Kinect on the Xbox 360. Google also ha a busy 2013 acquiring eight robotic engineering companies, and two of those firms bought by the tech giant proved their worth by earning the top two score at the robotics challenge trials obstacles course managed by the Defense advanced projects agency.
