Most robotics AI models suffer from the "stop-and-think" problem. They take a static picture, pause to reason, execute an action, and repeat. In the real world, that latency causes spills, collisions, and failed tasks. Google DeepMind just launched Gemini Robotics ER 2: an embodied reasoning model that thinks and acts at the speed of the physical world. Here's why this is a step-change for physical AI engineering: Traditional robotics models rely on static snapshots. But knowing *when* a task is done, such as when to stop pouring coffee into a cup or when a trash bag is securely tied, requires continuous temporal awareness. Gemini Robotics ER 2 integrates directly with the bidirectional streaming Gemini Live API to reason about what comes next while simultaneously executing motor actions. What makes Gemini Robotics ER 2 different: 🎯 91.3% accuracy on live video moment-finding (0.96s mean absolute distance) at 4x the execution speed of frontier models 📈 Continuous progress tracking across 5 completion stages (57.4% accuracy) to self-correct mid-task without restarting 🛠️ Native agentic tool orchestration that commands lower-level VLA models, navigation APIs, and Google Search 🤝 Multi-robot collaboration allowing physically diverse machines (like Apptronik's Apollo 2 humanoid and Franka's FR3 Duo arm) to hand off tasks in shared spaces 🛡️ Built-in physical safety that autonomously halts robots when humans enter a workspace and resumes once clear

For decades, we’ve dreamed of robots that can seamlessly step into our world and lend a hand. Today, we take a major stride toward making that dream a reality: Introducing Gemini Robotics 2 from Google DeepMind, the intelligence layer powering the next generation of truly adaptable robots. This major advance unlocks intelligent whole-body control, advanced dexterity, and even multi-robot collaboration 🤯. Ok but... how does a robot actually "think"? Real-world tasks take time and planning. To manage that complexity, our new embodied reasoning model, Gemini Robotics ER 2, acts as the robot’s high-level brain, enhancing the robot’s capabilities to: — Observe the environment — Reason about the actions needed to complete the task — Coordinate with the vision-language-action model to carry out actions — Track progress until the job is done This setup allows robots to execute complex multi-step workflows, self-correct if a step fails, and adapt to completely novel situations. Learn more about Gemini Robotics ER 2 (and our two other brand new models) here:

NVIDIA just announced EgoScale 🤖🧠 NVIDIA Research has uncovered a log-linear scaling law for robot dexterity by pretraining VLA models on over 20,000 hours of egocentric human video This massive dataset is 20 times larger than previous efforts and proves that robot intelligence follows a predictable path: the more human data, the lower the loss The secret is a simple recipe combining large-scale human pretraining with a small amount of aligned human-robot mid-training to bridge the gap In testing, this method boosted the average success rate by 54% on a 22-DoF robotic hand compared to policies built without pretraining EgoScale also enables one-shot task adaptation and works across different hardware, suggesting that human motion is a universal motor prior for robots Website: Paper: Source: NVIDIA Research #Robot #Humanoid #Robotics #AI #EmbodiedAI #PhysicalAI #NVIDIA #EgoScale #GR00T

Sundar Pichai on the robotics opportunity: ⦿ He's impressed by recent humanoid progress - so much so that he sometimes has to look closely to tell if a robot video is real or fake. ⦿ Google initially moved too early into the application layer, but now sees the combination of AI and robotics as the “sweet spot.” ⦿ He believes we’re 2–3 years away from a “magical moment” in robotics. ⦿ Google is working on playing a role similar to Android in robotics - one of its internal bets is already focused on supporting robotics manufacturers. ⦿ Gemini robotics models will work very well - how to productize them is still an open question at the company.

X-Humanoid just dropped TG-VLA — the first full-size, whole-body VLA framework for humanoids. 🤖 Most VLA demos today still look arm-centric: see, plan, reach, grasp. The legs are mostly there to carry the arms. TG-VLA pushes action into the whole body: → HEX: task context & cross-embodiment learning → HAF-VLA: high-DoF motion → structured action flows → DSRL-DCT: online RL through a compressed latent space The real shift isn't a smarter hand — it's locomotion, torso control, balance, and manipulation inside one control loop. That's the move: from mobile dual-arm machines to full-body agents.

We trained a humanoid with 22-DoF dexterous hands to assemble model cars, operate syringes, sort poker cards, fold/roll shirts, all learned primarily from 20,000+ hours of egocentric human video with no robot in the loop. Humans are the most scalable embodiment on the planet. We discovered a near-perfect log-linear scaling law (R² = 0.998) between human video volume and action prediction loss, and this loss directly predicts real-robot success rate. Humanoid robots will be the end game, because they are the practical form factor with minimal embodiment gap from humans. Call it the Bitter Lesson of robot hardware: the kinematic similarity lets us simply retarget human finger motion onto dexterous robot hand joints. No learned embeddings, no fancy transfer algorithms needed. Relative wrist motion + retargeted 22-DoF finger actions serve as a unified action space that carries through from pre-training to robot execution. Our recipe is called "EgoScale": - Pre-train GR00T N1.5 on 20K hours of human video, mid-train with only 4 hours (!) of robot play data with Sharpa hands. 54% gains over training from scratch across 5 highly dexterous tasks. - Most surprising result: a *single* teleop demo is sufficient to learn a never-before-seen task. Our recipe enables extreme data efficiency. - Although we pre-train in 22-DoF hand joint space, the policy transfers to a Unitree G1 with 7-DoF tri-finger hands. 30%+ gains over training on G1 data alone. The scalable path to robot dexterity was never more robots. It was always us. Deep dives in thread:

Dexterous hands are one of the biggest challenges in robotics, with even Elon Musk noting their development accounts for half of a humanoid robot's total work. A new approach from the Y-Hand M1 bionic hand may be a significant step forward. Based on an international first-of-its-kind "bionic tension-compression theory," the M1 replaces traditional rigid hinges with a 6-DoF joint system and uses self-developed magnetic artificial muscles. This design allows it to perform complex, human-like tasks, including: ► Mastering all 33 Feix dexterous grasp categories. ► Precisely twirling playing cards and threading a needle with subtle human-like adjustments. ► Smoothly twisting bottle caps and turning book pages. The team behind the M1 is already working on the next-gen Y-Hand M3, aiming for around 70 degrees of freedom, believing that robotic hands may soon reach or even exceed human-level dexterity.
