Who knew Google’s Android Bot will really come to life? The Taiwanese Government has given the mantle to Asus to produce an educational robot for kids. And since it is meant for e-learning purposes, Asus is trying to keep its cost down by running it on Android OS.

Known as the EeeBot project, Asus will work on its hardware design and try to subsidize the overall cost by building content and services on Google’s free OS. The project includes working on different technologies like human robot interaction, voice, visual and navigation.

Asus plans to take about two years to put the design into trial production after the plan has been finalized.
