Google DeepMind · 6 months ago · 7

Google released Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6, an upgraded AI model designed to help robots understand and reason about their physical environments for tasks like navigation and equipment monitoring. The model improves spatial reasoning capabilities including pointing accuracy, multi-view success detection, and a new ability to read analog gauges and digital instrument displays with sub-tick accuracy. Developers can now access the model via the Gemini API and Google AI Studio, with the system showing 6-10% improvement over previous versions in identifying physical safety hazards.
