Gemini Robotics 2 brings whole body intelligence to robots

This post introduces Gemini Robotics 2, which significantly advances embodied reasoning for robots. Key contributions include: 1. Whole-body control for humanoids (e.g., walking, crouching, manipulating objects) enabling tasks like cleaning cluttered rooms. 2. Advanced dexterity for hands and grippers, demonstrated by tying knots, sealing ziplock bags, and complex packing tasks. 3. Enhanced embodied reasoning (ER 2) for longer task sequences (minutes, hundreds of decisions), improved progress understanding, and multi-robot collaboration. 4. Fast on-device adaptation (hours, <200 examples) for new robot embodiments with Gemini Robotics On-Device 2. 5. Improved safety features with Gemini Robotics ER 2, including better human detection, refusal of unsafe tool calls, and proactive human intervention requests, benchmarked by ASIMOV-Agentic.
