Gemini Robotics 2

Gemini Robotics 2, released July 30, 2026 by Google DeepMind, is a three-model physical-AI family: a vision-language-action (VLA) model for whole-body control, Gemini Robotics ER 2 for embodied reasoning and long-horizon planning, and Robotics On-Device 2 for low-latency edge deployment. The VLA treats the robot as one integrated system — legs, torso, arms, hands — rather than independent joints, demonstrated on the Apptronik Apollo 2 humanoid, Boston Dynamics Spot, and Franka arms. DeepMind also released ASIMOV-Agentic, the first dedicated safety benchmark for autonomous robot operation.

The honest picture: access is limited to trusted testers, robotics partners, and a small group of OEMs — this is not a model you can download and try. DeepMind's own robotics director has said true dexterity remains distant, with robots still slow and deliberate, and multi-robot collaboration demos are lab-grade, not production deployments.
