On August 2, Google DeepMind introduced Gemini Robotics 2, the latest version of its visual-language-action model. This new model enhances full-body control, advanced dexterity, and multi-robot collaboration, marking a significant advancement from its predecessor, which only managed upper-body tasks.
Gemini Robotics 2 allows the Apptronik Apollo 2 humanoid robot to autonomously execute complex tasks, such as placing a watering can into a designated bucket, requiring coordinated decision-making and balance. While there is room for improvement in movement speed, this development represents a crucial step towards handling more intricate real-world tasks.
The model also introduces multi-robot collaboration, enabling different robots to communicate and work together on complex workflows. With the ASIMOV-Agentic benchmark, Gemini Robotics 2 excels in safety compliance and human proximity detection, ensuring safe operation. The Gemini Robotics On-Device 2 is designed for applications requiring offline functionality, adapting to new robotic forms with minimal data and time.
