Google just announced Gemini Robotics 2, extending its physical AI models beyond tabletop manipulation. A robot tying a trash bag sounds routine, but might be a bigger breakthrough than it seems:

Google DeepMind just introduced Gemini Robotics 2. It's a single VLA that unlocks physical dexterity across different end effectors, hands or grippers, from one model checkpoint. Apptronik's Apollo 2 humanoid, with the 22-DoF SharpaWave hand, ties knots and seals a ziplock bag

Watching someone easily bypass ChatGPT's safety rules on this Unitree G1 robot to fire a BB gun at its operator is definitely cause for alarm. It might be about time we dust off Isaac Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics/physical AI👇

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.

🇺🇲The apple-to-apple comparison for iOS26 vs. iOS27 is anything but apples to apples. iOS27 brings a major AI upgrade but with a Google twist… Apple developed those models in collaboration with Google and its Gemini models. People keep pointing out that iOS27 is running Gemini under the hood. Writer: Marie

1/7 Physical AI has a data problem. More compute alone won’t teach a robot how to move, grasp, react, or recover from mistakes. LLMs had the entire internet to learn from. Robots need something different: huge amounts of real action data. That’s where Axis Robotics gets interesting. $AXIS is building a data engine for Physical AI, turning robot training into something people can contribute to directly through a browser. The loop is straightforward: Generate → Collect → Process → Deploy → Correct → Repeat. What looks simple on the surface could become something much bigger underneath: a scalable way to produce the training data robots need to become genuinely useful in the physical world. The real unlock for Physical AI might not be another bigger model. It might be better data.

Gemini Robotics 2 by Google DeepMind uses sim-only post-training on a mixed-data base model to handle automotive kitting. Contact-rich tasks like these have long been considered one of the hardest challenges in Sim2Real. Gemini Robotics 2 shows simulation can work even here. General robot intelligence needs much more data than real-robot collection alone can provide. Simulation has proven to be an effective way to fill that gap.

We teamed up with Boston Dynamics to power their robot Spot with Gemini Robotics embodied reasoning models. This means it can better understand its surroundings, identify objects and follow simple commands - like tidying up a room.

🤖What if a robot could perform a new task just from a natural language command, with zero demonstrations? Our new work, NovaFlow, makes it possible! We use pre-trained video generative model to create a video of the task, then translate it into a plan for real-world robot execution. 1/6 #Robotics #AI #ZeroShot #Manipulation

This is my favorite demo how useful a robot can be just with a good harness design + models co-trained with our harness. Tools given to the robot are 1) manipulation (via an action model) 2) locomotion 3) speeking to a person

We’ve just stepped into the future. Our AI, CERE, no longer just talks… It walks, moves, and interacts with you in real time! Cere Thanks to our integration with Robot TEMI, CERE is now embodied as a physical being: Meet Robot CERE! And with its GenAI integration, it can now talk to you on the spot. We’ve brought artificial intelligence into the physical world. Unveiled today at the expo — Tomorrow, it might be in your home, your office, or even on the street. Get ready: Technology is no longer just code — Cerebrum Tech #CERE #RobotCERE #ArtificialIntelligence #Robotics #CerebrumTech #AI #FutureTech

So cool! Can you even tell this is a robot horse? 🤖🐎 DEEP Robotics has built a robot horse, seemingly a special Year of the Horse limited edition based on their M20 Pro. The bionic details on this machine are incredible, especially those lifelike hooves. It looks like a living creature rather than just another quadruped robot. It is amazing to see a quad robot move so smoothly while having such a realistic animal appearance.

California startup announces breakthrough in general-purpose robotics with π0.5 AI — a vision-language-action model. Everything the robot sees, it sees for the first time. The robot has not been trained to recognize its surroundings. We are getting there! Only a few more years until we finally have household robots. A dream is coming true!
