Google's dev account unveiled Sprout, a semi-autonomous rover built with Google AI Studio and Antigravity. It navigates the office in search of sunlight, pings for help when stuck, and uses Gemini Live plus Robotics ER 2.0 for vision to look after fellow office plants. Google is inviting developers to build their own with the same tooling.
