The branding problem here isn't going to be fixed by making a 3d robot. The problem is that it's not entirely clear there is such a thing as "Android." Even in this announcement, they refer to it as the world's biggest operating system and as a platform, which do not have to mean the same thing. It's almost like they need to clarify that Android the OS framework is massively successful and open, while the purest implementation of it is Android the OS on Pixel devices (for example). A lot of folks think of Android as adware and bloatware-infested devices that get next to no support after sale, and that's really unfortunate given how good it can be.
Or, shorter, making it too open and not distinguishing between the platform and vendor-specific implementations of it is allowing others to dilute the meaning of "Android" in a way that is detrimental to the brand.
