In Development

DeepMind's physical-AI model family for controlling robots. Gemini Robotics 2, unveiled July 30, 2026, extends earlier upper-body-only models to whole-body control ('from feet to fingertips'), plus Gemini Robotics ER2 for embodied reasoning, an On-Device 2 tier, and multi-robot collaboration where different robot types hand off subtasks via shared semantic understanding.
