Everyday robots are coming to your office courtesy of Google

"... We are now operating a fleet of more than 100 robot prototypes that are autonomously performing a range of useful tasks around our offices. The same robot that sorts trash can now be equipped with a squeegee to wipe tables and use the same gripper that grasps cups can learn to open doors. ...
Now that we’ve seen signs that creating a general-purpose learning robot is possible, we’ll be moving out of the rapid prototyping environment of X to focus on expanding our pilots to some of Google’s Bay Area campuses."
