Google DeepMind's Gemini Robotics 2 gives humanoid robots full-body control from feet to fingertips
Google DeepMind announced Gemini Robotics 2, a new AI model that gives humanoid robots full-body control from feet to fingertips, surpassing the previous version's upper-body-only limitations. The update includes improvements to the Gemini Robotics ER 2 vision-language model for safety and collaboration, and an On-Device Model that adapts to different robot bodies. Demonstrations show robots performing tasks like picking up objects, sealing bags, and unscrewing lightbulbs, marking a significant step toward real-world deployment.
