Gemini Robotics On-Device brings AI to local robotic devices

In March, we introduced Gemini Robotics, our most advanced VLA (vision language action) model, bringing Gemini 2.0’s multimodal reasoning and real-world understanding into the physical world.

Today, we’re introducing Gemini Robotics On-Device, our most powerful VLA model optimized to run locally on robotic devices. Gemini Robotics On-Device shows strong general-purpose dexterity and task generalization, and it’s optimized to run efficiently on the robot itself.

Since the model operates independent of a data network, it’s helpful for latency sensitive applications, and ensures robustness in environments with intermittent or zero connectivity.

We’re also sharing a Gemini Robotics SDK to help developers easily evaluate Gemini Robotics On-Device on their tasks and environments, test our model in our MuJoCo physics simulator, and quickly adapt it to new domains, with as few as 50 to 100 demonstrations. Developers can access the SDK by signing up to our trusted tester ...
