Google DeepMind released the Gemini Robotics 2 model series designed to control humanoid robots and enable them to collaborate on multi-step tasks. The core model, Gemini Robotics ER 2, accepts natural language instructions and can coordinate tasks across multiple robots while tracking progress via camera feeds and recovering from failures without restarting from scratch. The new capabilities allow robots to handle complex chores comprising hundreds of steps and adapt their execution in real time.
Google released Gemini Robotics 2.0, an AI system that enables robots to perform more complex tasks, adapt to changing environments, and coordinate with other robots through improved reasoning models. One of three new sub-models is publicly available to developers starting today via the Gemini Live API. The upgrade allows robots to control complex humanoid bodies with better dexterity, moving closer to the goal of creating generalist machines that can perform diverse physical tasks.
Google DeepMind released Gemini Robotics 2, a suite of three AI models for controlling robots across whole-body movement, multi-finger dexterity, and multi-robot collaboration. The system achieves success rates ranging from 32% to 92% depending on task complexity, with one model checkpoint controlling multiple robot embodiments including the Apptronik Apollo 2 and Franka Duo. Robots can now adapt to unpredictable environments, transfer skills between different bodies, and coordinate with other robots on shared tasks rather than relying on pre-programming or teleoperation.
Google DeepMind released Gemini Robotics 2, an AI model that controls humanoid robots' entire bodies including legs and arms, extending beyond its predecessor which only handled upper-body movements. The model enables robots like Apptronik's Apollo 2 to perform full-body tasks such as walking, crouching, bending to pick up objects, and retrieving specific items from shelves. Humanoid robots can now execute a broader repertoire of physical actions previously impossible with upper-body-only control.
