Google DeepMind has released a new family of Gemini Robotics models designed to power robots. These models are trained on a vast amount of data and can perform a wide range of tasks, including understanding natural language, recognizing objects, and manipulating them with dexterity. The models are being made available to trusted testers and partners, and Google DeepMind believes they have the potential to revolutionize robotics, making robots more useful in a variety of settings, including [...] The Gemini Robotics models are highly dextrous, interactive and general, meaning they can drive robots to react to new objects, environments and instructions without further training. Helpful, given the team’s ambitions. [...] This all-rounder robot was powered by a Gemini Robotics model that is part of a new family of multimodal models for robotics. The models build upon Gemini 2.0 through fine-tuning with robot-specific data, adding physical action to Gemini’s multimodal outputs like text, video and audio. "This milestone lays the foundation for the next generation of robotics that can be helpful across a range of applications," said Google CEO Sundar Pichai when announcing the new models on X.

Google’s Gemini Robotics is an advanced AI model designed to give robots the ability to perceive, reason, and interact in the physical world. As a vision-language-action (VLA) model, it allows robots to process instructions, interpret their environment, and execute complex tasks with high precision. [...] Meanwhile, the Gemini Robotics-ER model improves a robot’s ability to understand spatial relationships of how objects are positioned, how they move, and how they interact. This helps robots anticipate actions and adjust their movements accordingly. [...] Specifically, with Gemini Robotics, Google is taking a step closer to the technology needed to build smarter robots. Launched on March 12, 2025, the Gemini Robotics model and its companion model, Gemini Robotics-ER (Embodied Reasoning), are Google DeepMind’s latest innovations.

Gemini Robotics: Gemini Robotics is the general AI model for robotics built on top of DeepMind’s Gemini 2.0. It extends the foundation model’s multimodal capabilities, text, vision, and audio by adding robotic control as a new output. This means that instead of just processing and responding to information in the digital realm (as Gemini 2.0 does with text and images), Gemini Robotics can generate motor actions and control robotic systems in real-world environments. [...] ## Gemini robotics model family Google DeepMind has introduced two AI models under the Gemini Robotics initiative: [...] Gemini Robotics has made a significant impact by demonstrating that a single AI model can equip robots with a wide range of capabilities from understanding human commands to adapting to new tasks and manipulating objects with precision. Unlike previous approaches, Gemini Robotics is designed to be more general, integrated, and adaptable, introducing groundbreaking technologies that could shape the future of robotics AI.

Google DeepMind is announcing two new models, based on Gemini 2.0, that are designed for robotics. Gemini Robotics is our most advanced vision-language-action model, which enables robots to perform a wider range of real-world tasks than ever before. Gemini Robotics-ER lets roboticists run their own programs using Gemini’s embodied reasoning. They’re currently testing these models with partners and trusted testers.
