Single Model for Whole-Body and Dexterous Control: Gemini Robotics 2
keerthanpg · x · 2026-07-31
Gemini Robotics 2 is the first action model to combine general whole-body control with multi-fingered dexterity. It manages more degrees of freedom than any previous model, enabling humanoid stepping and squatting, as well as high-DOF hand manipulation. Notably, it achieves this using a single checkpoint and one set of weights, which is also SOTA for controlling bimanual grippers.
