Bangalore: Google is stepping out of its search engine outfit by diversifying its business into various fields including Operating Systems to patenting automobile technologies. But apparently, two people at the company, Sergey Brin and Larry Page are determined to do something more- change the future of human kind- at company’s secret lab Google X.

The secret laboratory which reportedly runs "as mysteriously as the C.I.A.," has two facilities one in California and other in an undisclosed location within the U.S. runs Google’s secret projects ranging from humanoid robots to space elevators. The lab is filled with robotic engineers and the research conducted for the sci-fi future or even the existence of lab is unknown to most of the company’s employees.

Sergey Brin is reportedly “deeply involved” with the project and the lab is headed by robotics and artificial intelligence expert Sebastian Thrun from Stanford, best known for his work on the world’s first driverless car and Andrew Ng, a Stanford professor and an esteemed A.I. expert. Other people working in the lab include hires from Nokia, Microsoft, Stanford, M.I.T., New York University and Carnegie Mellon.

Here are some of the secret futuristic projects conducted inside the lab.
