Gemini Robotics, Bringing AI to the Physical World

A new wave of general purpose robots is promising to bring helpful robots into many areas of human life. But in order to be truly useful, such robots require generalist embodied intelligence.

In order for robots to be helpful, they need to be capable of sophisticated skills, understand and reason about the world around them, interact with humans, and be able to generalize to new situations and tasks. I will discuss some of the building blocks that GDM Robotics is developing to this end, focusing on our recently released family of Gemini Robotics foundation models. Having been designed with robotics in mind, they combine Gemini’s world understanding with the ability to reason about the physical world and take action. With generality, interactivity, dexterity, and enhanced embodied reasoning they’re laying a foundation for a new generation of helpful robots.
