Android Things enables you lot to construct as well as maintain IoT devices at scale. We latterly released Android Things 1.0 alongside long-term back upward for production devices, therefore you lot tin sack easily direct hold an IoT device from image to commercial product.
We packed Google I/O this twelvemonth alongside Android Things content to inspire as well as empower the developer community, from talks as well as codelabs to interactive demos as well as a scavenger hunt. Here's a closer await at the fun materials nosotros had on display that you lot won't run into on the shelves of retail stores.
Demos
We introduced a handful of novel interactive Android Things demos across I/O, showcasing the AI as well as ML capabilities of the platform, therefore if you lot didn't acquire an chance to attend this year, here's a few of our favorites-- perfect for exploring from wherever you lot are inwards the world!
Smart Flowers: Flos Mobilis
What exercise you lot acquire when you lot combine automobile learning, Android Things as well as robotics? Flos Mobilis, a continuum robot where each bloom is backed past times an i.MX7D evolution board as well as a photographic boob tube camera to run an embedded neural cyberspace model that controls the displace of the flower. This is all done offline alongside no information stored or transmitted.
Smart Flowers: Flos Affectus
What if a robot could answer to the means you lot feel? Flos Affectus is a cluster of robotic flowers that "bloom" as well as "un-bloom" depending on the aspect detected on the user's face. The iv wide expressions Flos Affectus is trained to discovery are: happy, sad, angry, surprised. Using a photographic boob tube camera embedded inwards the caput of the alpha flower, the bloom cluster is able to discovery the user's human face upward as well as infer the facial emotion. The bloom cluster runs offline alongside no information stored or transmitted as well as demonstrates drive capabilities as well as on-device automobile learning models.
Rosie the Android
Initially designed past times a squad of Google engineers for the annual Grace Hopper conference, Rosie the Android is a five human foot selfie-taking Android, consummate alongside machine-learning capabilities. Inspired past times Rosie the Riveter, she's a fully controllable robot that tin sack direct hold photos, answer to commands, bicycle to a greater extent than or less as well as interact alongside those to a greater extent than or less her.

Smart Projector
Smart Projector is built on Lantern, an Android Things projection exploring the human relationship betwixt surfaces as well as content — augmenting real-world objects as well as environments alongside glanceable, meaningful data. It leverages the Google Experiments projection known every bit Quick Draw, using the world's largest doodling information prepare that has been shared publicly to assist alongside automobile learning research.

3D Printer
This modified Printrbot Smalls 3D Printer uses a real-time subsystem that showcases the flexibility of Android Things-- a microcontroller does the low-latency motor control, spell Android Things handles OpenGL rendering. By keeping most of the logic on a high-level platform similar Android you lot brand evolution as well as debugging much easier, thank you lot to Android's neat tooling.
The hereafter of 3D printing? Making real-time command every bit slow as well as portable every bit the residual of Android Things.
Codelabs
Phew! That was merely the tip of the demo iceberg. With therefore many demos as well as therefore many ways to role Android Things, it's slow to start imagining all the things you lot tin sack build! At I/O, nosotros helped a lot of developers acquire started edifice their offset Android Things device using the Android Things Starter Kit. We're making these codelabs available, therefore you lot tin sack acquire to them whenever you lot need, or construct your own.
Videos
Missed the I/O talks? Catch the recordings of each Android Things talk, therefore you lot tin sack start, pause, as well as rewind at your ain leisure. Or, merely lean back as well as sentinel them all.
