Gemini Robotics-ER 2 plans dual Franka FR3 manipulation, open-sourced with Isaac Sim
Stefania_druga · x · 2026-10-05
A demo puts Gemini Robotics-ER 2 in charge of writing the task plan for two Franka FR3 arms: the model sets grasp offsets and the shared circle (YZ, then XY), while the runtime executes it. Findings: placement is still inaccurate, and moving objects remain unpickable. Stack: Isaac Sim + ROS 2.
The accompanying open-source repo mincasurong/IsaacSimGeminiRobotics is a multi-robot physical-AI workstation with 3× FR3 arms built on a Dual Execution Engine — a zero-token visual node-based flow builder (tracked via a React Flow v12 digital twin) plus closed-loop VLA autonomy powered by Gemini Robotics-ER 2 and Flash-Lite, bridged over FastDDS with true parallel DAG scheduling.
