Building the Next Generation of Physical Agents with Gemini Robotics-ER 1.5- Google Developers Blog

What this post added

This post announces the broad availability of Gemini Robotics-ER 1.5, a new state-of-the-art robotics embodied reasoning model. It details the model's capabilities in visual and spatial understanding, task planning, progress estimation, and tool calling. Key new features include fast and powerful spatial reasoning with precise 2D point generation, orchestration of advanced agentic behaviors for long-horizon tasks, flexible thinking budgets for latency vs. accuracy trade-offs, and improved safety filters. The post provides examples of its application in tasks like object sorting, temporal reasoning with video analysis, and orchestrating complex sequences like coffee making, demonstrating its ability to reason about affordances and generate spatially grounded plans.
