Interesting facts about Android OS and it’s history Navin DhunganaMonday, December 22, 2014 0 comments

Today, it is very difficult not to know android than it is to know the most popular operating system in the smartphone world. Google has brought the operating system a long way to make it the market leader in a very tight market which has surpassed the feature phones.

It is safe to say  that Android is dominating the smartphone market. However, there are some facts you may not have heard before about Google’s operating system.

Google did not start Android

Android Inc

The Android operating system was developed by Android Inc. which was established in October 2003. Android Inc. which was founded by Andy Rubin, Chris White, Nick Sears and Rich Miner was later bought by Google who had been backing the company all along. The deal was struck in August 2005 at a price of $50 million.

Android officially launched in 2007

Google officially launched the operating system in November 2007. The operating system had initially been developed for cameras but Google saw a potential in the usage of the OS on smartphones which has come to pass today.

First Smartphone

The first ever smartphone to run on the Android operating system was the T-Mobile G1 which was launched into the market in 2008.

Android has over a billion activations

Google’s Vice President for Android, Sundar Pichai, announced earlier in September this year that the Android operating system has attained over a billion activations on devices ranging from smartphones to tablets.

Naming

Apart from Android 1.0 and 1.1, all other Android versions have been named after sweet treats. Cupcake, Donut, Ice Cream Sandwich, kitkat to name a few.

Naming Order

Android versions have been following an alphabetical order in their naming but many have failed to notice this. Android Astro (1.0) was followed by Bender (1.1) followed by Cupcake (1.5). This was followed by Donut (1.6), Éclair (2.0), Froyo (2.2.x), and Gingerbread (2.3.x). This was before Honeycomb (3.x), Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0.x) and Jelly Bean (4.3) entered the equation. Google announced the KitKat (4.4) recently as its latest OS is android lollipop .

Android is open source

With Google being a member of Open Handset Alliance (OHA), android has given users or interested party access to modify the source code of the operating system. This has allowed users and smartphone manufacturers great flexibility in adding features to the operating system.

Android is free

Google offers Android operating system to smartphone manufacturers without payment for its license.

Google gains from Android

Despite offering the Android software free to smartphone manufacturers, Google will likely achieve its aim of becoming the mobile advertising king through android devices. Google makes its biggest revenue from advertising and this will pay off in the big way with the exodus of users from PCs to smartphones and tablets. It must be noted that Android dominates both categories.

There you have it, what do you think about these facts? What other interesting fact do you know about Google’s Android that we have omitted? Kindly, leave your comment.

Hector- The 6 Legged Robot Navin Dhungana 0 comments

The drones or robots are commonly used these days. They are used for automation of many works. The technicians continued their research in the field of robotics for betterment of robotics technology. A Research group at Bielefeld University has succeeded in showing the main robot of its kind on the planet how to walk. The first steps of that robot have been recorded in the video shown below. The robot is named Hector and its design is modelled like a stick insect. As its design indicates that it is inspired by the insect, Hector has an idle elastic joints and an ultralight exoskeleton. The exoskeleton is made from carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP).

It is also equipped with many sensors and its function & working is based according to biological inspired decentralized reactive control concept- the Walknet. There are some short range cameras attached in this robot with 18 passive electric joints. The joints act just like the way muscle acts. This amenity made this drone a unique device. However the elasticity is not enough for Hector to be able to walk on rough surfaces with obstacles.

It is hoped that the Hector, which stands for Hexapod Cognitive autonomously operating robot will not only beneficial for robotics but it also beneficial for biologists interested in animal movement. Most of the six-legged drones are made to walk with the help of a tripod or any other fixed leg gait, but Hector is equipped with a free gait. The free gait is a flexible leg which can control to deal with rough surfaces. In free gait leg technology, each leg is able to making its own decision for movement for when and where to move. It is basically called “Active Posture adaption”, which means movement with the help of sensors attached. Hector is able to figure out how to proceed the next step with facing the basic obstacles, such as wooden platform, slippery ground etc.

To run this robot without any difficulty, all the sub systems are made to communicate with each other. It is important for sub systems to communicate because Hector might have too many legs in the air at same time and it becomes unstable and fall over. The legs of this robot can collide with obstacles and it may fall if the systems cannot communicate properly. A further stage in the development of the robot was the design and production of the robot body. This robot is designed in two colors, Green & white and Black.

Hector can behave like an actual insect which make its own decisions to proceed with facing the difficulties comes in its path. At present, Hector is still an incomplete stick robots but its creators says that by 2017, they will upgrade its technology and design including its software. Unfortunately we don’t expect the Hector strolling robot to be accessible at any time soon as the revealed model is still in its initial phases of improvement. At the same time it is hoped that this new robot will permit the formation of new technology for the development of self-sufficient freight requests as well as additional terrestrial meanders that can be conveyed to our surrounding planets for investigation and exploration.
