Google parent company Alphabet has called time on its Schaft robotics unit. The company, which was founded in 2007, is no longer making the robots that have been a staple of German public schools for decades. Alphabet said it is helping the company’s employees find new positions, which are likely to be outside Alphabet and Google.
Google parent company Alphabet has called time on its Schaft robotics unit.
