Google had officially launched the Chromebook at the Google I/O and now it has been reported that the robotics company iRobot is planning to use Google’s Android platform to power its new Ava line of robots. Yes, that means Android robots!

A first glance at the new line of robots was seen at January’s Consumer Electronics Show. That version of Ava featured an Apple iPad as it’s head but at the Google I/O, iRobot changed it to a Motorola Xoom Honeycomb tablet.

The CEO of iRobot Colin Angie expressed, “Ava is the first app-ready robot. By tapping into an almost limitless supply of Android-based apps, Ava is poised to revolutionize how people communicate and deliver information through remote presence and other means. With the right ideas, Ava can also revolutionize how people live both at home and in the workplace.”

An interesting concept. An Android robot would be cool and I am curious to know if Google had accepted the idea or not.
