    Google details how Gemini Robotics teaches robots to play ball and fold origami

    Google DeepMind just broke down its new Gemini Robotics family, fine-tuning Gemini 2.0 to give robots real-world dexterity and reasoning. Powered by Gemini Robotics-ER and a new vision-language-action model, dual-arm robots can tackle unfamiliar tasks like slam dunking a toy ball or packing lunches on the first try. It is an impressive step toward general-purpose embodied AI that moves beyond single-task programming.

    DeepMind puts Gemini 2.0 into robots with two new models

    Google DeepMind just launched Gemini Robotics and Gemini Robotics-ER, two models built on Gemini 2.0 designed to bring AI reasoning into physical actions. The models can handle delicate chores like origami and zip-bag packing, and DeepMind is already teaming up with Apptronik to power Apollo humanoid robots.

    Apptronik's humanoid robot gets closer to building itself

    Apptronik just inked a pilot deal with manufacturing giant Jabil to deploy its Apollo humanoid robots on factory floors for sorting and transport tasks. If all goes smoothly, Jabil will eventually mass-produce Apollo in its own facilities—meaning the robots will literally help build themselves, with commercial manufacturing targeted for 2026.

    Mercedes puts humanoid robots on the factory floor

    Apptronik just inked a commercial deal with Mercedes-Benz to trial its Apollo bipedal robots on auto assembly lines. Starting at a factory in Hungary, the 160-pound bots will inspect and deliver parts to human workers. The pitch is simple: carmakers can plug humanoids into existing facilities to tackle grueling, repetitive tasks without having to redesign the plant.
