Google's DeepMind Gemini Robotics Brings AI Into The Real World

Yesterday, Google DeepMind unveiled two new AI models -- Gemini Robotics and Gemini Robotics-ER -- to advance robotic intelligence in multiple markets. According to Google, these models, built on the Gemini multimodal foundation, enable robots to process and respond to text, voice, and visual data making it possible for them to carry out complex physical tasks.

One of the new models, Gemini Robotics, is reportedly Google's most "advanced vision language action model", which will enable robots to be more generalized, interactive and dexterous. Highlighting these key areas of improvement, the head of robotics at DeepMind, Carolina Parada, noted that generalization allows robots to adapt and apply learned concepts in various situations that they may encounter. Being interactive requires them to decode and quickly respond to changes in the environment. At the same time, the ability to show dexterity implies that they are skilful in handling tasks just as humans would.
