The news of people being laid off in Google keeps coming. But Google has now fired not only humans but also robots. According to reports, Google's parent company Alphabet has shut down an experimental division that housed robots for everyday work.

The company said the reason behind it was lack of money. Alphabet launched the Robotics Project, with more than 200 people working on more than 100 robots. These robots were hired for office cafeterias, dustbin cleaning and other tasks. These robots helped the company so much during the Corona period that they cleaned the conference room and did other tasks.

According to Alphabet, the cost of this robot is too high. Also, the company had to spend a lot of money on the experts who operated the robots. On the other hand, the company's earnings were decreasing in the current recession, due to which Alphabet has ended the robotics project and disposed of these robots. However, some of these robots are kept by the company for the Google research team.
