Google DeepMind Unveils Gemini Robotics for Physical AI
Google DeepMind Unveils Gemini Robotics for Physical AI Google DeepMind has launched Gemini Robotics, a new AI model based on Gemini 2.0 designed for robotics. This marks a significant step in bringing AI capabilities to the physical world, focusing on “embodied” reasoning, the ability of AI to understand and react to its surroundings and safely take action. Two key models were introduced: Gemini Robotics, a vision-language-action (VLA) model for direct robot control, and Gemini Robotics-ER, enhancing spatial understanding for roboticists. These models aim to enable robots to perform a wider range of real-world tasks. Gemini Robotics demonstrates strong performance in generality, interactivity, and dexterity. Gemini Robotics-ER enhances Gemini’s spatial reasoning, improving object detection and grasp capabilities, with the goal of integrating them into real-world applications. Google is partnering with Apptronik to build next-generation humanoid robots, as well as working with trusted testers including Agile Robots, Agility Robots, Boston Dynamics, and
