Gemini Robotics 1.5 brings AI agents into the physical world

Google DeepMind 8 months ago

Google released Gemini Robotics 1.5 and Gemini Robotics-ER 1.5, two models that enable robots to reason, plan, and execute complex multi-step physical tasks in the real world. Gemini Robotics-ER 1.5 achieved state-of-the-art performance across 15 academic embodied reasoning benchmarks, including Point-Bench and ERQA. The models work together as an agentic system where the reasoning model plans high-level tasks and the vision-language-action model executes them, while also learning to transfer skills across different robot embodiments without specialization.

Bringing AI to the next generation of fusion energy

Google DeepMind 8 months ago

Google DeepMind is partnering with Commonwealth Fusion Systems to use artificial intelligence for controlling plasma in fusion reactors, focusing on optimizing the SPARC tokamak machine designed to achieve net energy gain. The collaboration centers on three areas: developing TORAX, a fast plasma simulator built in JAX; using reinforcement learning to find optimal operating parameters; and creating AI-based real-time control systems to manage heat distribution and plasma stability. The partnership aims to accelerate the timeline toward delivering fusion energy to the grid by running millions of virtual experiments before SPARC operation begins.
