What is Gemini Robotics?

Gemini Robotics is an AI system that enables robots to perform complex tasks, such as:

• Precision Object Handling – Picking up glasses and placing them in a case, folding paper, or packing items into a bag.

• Understanding and Responding to Surroundings – Adjusting behavior based on commands or environmental conditions.

• Supporting Various Types of Robots – Compatible with both robotic arms and humanoid robots.

What is Gemini Robotics-ER?

In addition to Gemini Robotics, Google DeepMind has also introduced Gemini Robotics-ER, an enhanced version with advanced spatial reasoning and improved robotic control capabilities, including:

• Path Planning and Motion Control – Calculating the safest way to grip a cup or handle objects.

• Real-Time Robot Control Code Generation – Creating movement commands dynamically based on the situation.

• Enhanced Object Detection and Identification – Allowing robots to better understand their environment.

What Types of Robots Does Gemini Robotics Support?

One of the key strengths of Gemini Robotics and Gemini Robotics-ER is their ability to control different types of robots, including:

1. Bi-arm Robots (Robotic Arms)

•  ALOHA 2 & Franka Arms – Industrial and research robotic arms.

2. Humanoid robots

• Apollo by Apptronik – A human-shaped robot designed to assist in real-world tasks.

Gemini Robotics can adapt to multiple robot types without requiring a completely new model, making it a crucial step forward for AI-driven robotics.

Advantages of Gemini Robotics

• Versatile Performance – Robots can learn and adapt to new tasks independently.

• Natural Language Understanding – Capable of receiving voice and text commands in multiple languages.

• Enhanced Safety – Able to assess whether an action is safe or not.

Limitations of Gemini Robotics

• Still in the Experimental Phase – Despite significant advancements, further testing is needed before widespread adoption.

• Requires Compatible Hardware – Currently limited to specific types of robots.น
