Google DeepMind has launched Gemini Robotics 2, its next-generation physical AI model designed to act as a unified brain for various robots.
Key breakthroughs of the model include:
- Whole-body Control: The Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model scales to real-time whole-body humanoid control.
- Advanced Dexterity: Supports complex operations ranging from bi-arm grippers to 22DoF Sharpa hands.
- On-device Cross-embodiment: Capable of running across different robot morphologies directly on the device.
- New SOTA in Spatial Intelligence: The Gemini Robotics ER 2 model sets a new state-of-the-art record in real-world spatial intelligence benchmarks.
