Google DeepMind introduced Gemini Robotics 2.5, its most capable vision-language-action model, demoed live at CoRL 2026. Key points:

Dexterity: tested on 200+ tasks; robots autonomously use tools like tongs and tie a bow on a box.
Reliability: in a real proof-of-concept on Mercedes-Benz production lines, Apptronik's Apollo 2 humanoid picked and packed auto parts with a 96% success rate.
Safety: improved physical-safety steerability plus a new benchmark for robotics-specific adversarial jailbreaks.
Built on progress accelerated by Gemini 4 Argon, aiming to move robots into unstructured real-world environments.
