Google DeepMind introduced Gemini Robotics 2, advancing physical AI beyond tabletop tasks to intelligent whole-body control. This vision-language-action (VLA) model equips humanoid robots with high dexterity for intricate actions like tying knots or screwing in lightbulbs, and enables multi-robot collaboration.
Two additional models were also announced:
- Gemini Robotics ER 2: Capable of real-world video understanding and complex, multi-step planning.
- On-Device 2: Runs locally and adapts to entirely new robot bodies in just a few hours.
