Google DeepMind Launches New AI Models to Help Robots Perform Physical Tasks

Washington, 13 Mar (ONA) --- Google DeepMind is launching two new AI models designed to help robots perform a wider range of real-world tasks than ever before." Gemini Robotics is built on Gemini 2.0, the latest version of Google's flagship AI model.

During a press briefing, Carolina Parada, the senior director and head of robotics at Google DeepMind, said Gemini Robotics "draws from Gemini's multimodal world understanding and transfers it to the real world by adding physical actions as a new modality."

The new model makes advancements in three key areas that Google DeepMind said are essential to building helpful robots: generality, interactivity, and dexterity. In addition to the ability to generalize new scenarios, Gemini Robotics is better at interacting with people and their environment. It's also capable of performing more precise physical tasks, such as folding a piece of paper or removing a bottle cap.
