bousmalis · x · 2026-08-01
Google DeepMind showcased a new demo using the Gemini Robotics 2 model on the Duo robot. The model successfully learned super precise and robust manipulation tasks with zero real-world data, effectively bridging the sim2real gap entirely.
In an automotive kitting task demo, the robot exhibited excellent bimanual grasping, 3D reorientations, and tight insertions. It also demonstrated incredible robustness to height variations and initial positions of objects, alongside strong recovery behaviors.
