    DeepMind teaches robots how to read gauges with Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6

    Google DeepMind just launched Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6, upgrading its embodied reasoning model with sharper spatial awareness and multi-view task verification. Partnering with Boston Dynamics, DeepMind enabled robots like Spot to accurately inspect analog dials and liquid sight glasses using agentic vision. It gives industrial bots the brains to actually understand physical environments, not just blindly follow scripts.

    Boston Dynamics' Spot cleans the house with Gemini

    Boston Dynamics just showcased its Spot robot tackling household chores like picking up shoes and soda cans, powered by Google's Gemini Robotics-ER 1.5 VLM. Instead of hardcoding complex state machines, engineers used conversational prompts and API tools to let the model plan and sequence actions dynamically. Why it matters: It shows how frontier visual reasoning can turn rigid industrial hardware into flexible, adaptive helpers with minimal custom logic.
