Google’s Gemini Robotics AI Model Reaches Into the Physical World

In science fiction stories, artificial intelligence Often supplied robot. An insightful restriction of today’s best AI is that it remains directly caught in the chat window.

Google Deepmind signaled a plan to change this today -especially minus the murder part -by announcing a new version of his KI model Gemini, leaving the language, vision and physical action in order to operate a number of more capable, more adaptive and potentially useful robots.

In a number of demonstration videos, the company showed several robots that were equipped with the new model with the name Gemini Robotics and manipulated objects in response to spoken commands: robot -low folds paper, hand over vegetables, gently put glasses in one case and do other tasks. The robots rely on the new model to connect elements that are visible with possible actions to do what they are communicated. The model is trained in such a way that the behavior is generalized via very different hardware.

Google Deepmind also announced a version of his model called Gemini Robotics-Er (for embodied argument), which only has visual and spatial understanding. The idea is that other robot researchers use this model to train their own models for controlling robots.

In a video demonstration, the researchers from Google Deepmind used the model to control a humanoid robot called Apollo from the startup Apptronik. The robot talks to a person and moves letters around a table top when they are dependent.

“We were able to understand the world understanding of the general concept-von Gemini 2.0 in robotics,” said Kanishka Rao, a robotics researcher at Google Deepmind who headed the work, at a briefing before today’s announcement.

According to Google Deepmind, the new model can successfully control various robots in hundreds of certain scenarios that are not previously included in their training. “As soon as the robot model has a general understanding, it becomes much more general and useful,” said Rao.
