Google DeepMind Launches New AI Models for Robotics

Google DeepMind Introduces New AI Robots

Google DeepMind has launched two new AI models, Gemini Robotics and Gemini Robotics-ER, which are designed to help robots understand and perform tasks in the physical world, not just the digital one. These models aim to help robots act more like humans by reasoning and responding to the world around them.

Introducing two new AI models from @GoogleDeepMind, based on Gemini 2.0, that lay the foundation for a new generation of helpful robots: Gemini Robotics, a vision-language-action model adds physical actions as a new modality, and Gemini Robotics-ER, a vision-language model that… https://t.co/i7ubkIR6s1

Gemini Robotics: Smart Robots That Can Adapt

Gemini Robotics is a model that helps robots understand their environment and control their actions. It can handle a wide range of tasks, even those it has never seen before. The model is built to be flexible, interactive, and precise, allowing robots to quickly adapt and perform tasks in different situations.

Gemini Robotics-ER: Helping Robots Understand Space Better

Gemini Robotics-ER focuses on improving how robots understand and interact with the space around them. It helps robots pick up objects, like a coffee mug, in the right way. This model makes robots better at solving problems by improving their spatial awareness and ability to manipulate objects.

Partnering with Others to Build Better Robots

Google is working with companies like Apptronik to create advanced humanoid robots using Gemini 2.0. These robots are designed to perform real-world tasks, and the Gemini models can be adapted to work with different types of robots, including humanoid robots.

Focusing on Robot Safety and Responsible AI

Google is focused on making sure robots are safe to use in the real world. They are adding safety features to the robots to prevent accidents, like avoiding collisions or making sure they remain stable. Google is also working with experts to make sure these robots are developed responsibly and are safe to interact with.
