About Gemini Robotics

Gemini Robotics is a suite of AI models from Google DeepMind designed to enable robots to perceive, reason, and act in the physical world. It includes Gemini Robotics 1.5, a vision-language-action (VLA) model that converts visual input and instructions into motor commands, and Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6, an embodied reasoning model for precise planning and logical decision-making. The system emphasizes generality, allowing robots to adapt to new situations; agentic capabilities like tool use and autonomous planning; interactive responsiveness to natural language; and dexterous manipulation for tasks such as folding origami or packing lunch boxes. It supports multiple robot embodiments, from bi-arm platforms to humanoids, and incorporates safety measures through collaborations and a Responsibility and Safety Council.

Key Features

Generality: adapts and generalizes behavior to new situations and tasks
Agentic capabilities: autonomously uses digital tools and creates detailed step-by-step plans
Thinking: thinks before acting, improving action quality and transparency in natural language
Interactivity: understands everyday commands, can be redirected without technical language, and adjusts to environmental changes
Dexterity: performs fine motor skills and precise manipulation (e.g., folding origami, packing lunch, preparing salad)
Multiple embodiments: works with diverse robot forms including bi-arm static platforms and humanoid robots like Apptronik’s Apollo
Vision-language-action (VLA) model: Gemini Robotics 1.5 turns visual information and instructions into motor commands
Embodied reasoning model: Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6 provides precise physical reasoning, planning, and logical decision-making
