Google DeepMind, Google’s AI research lab, on Wednesday announced new AI models called Gemini Robotics designed to enable real-world machines to interact with objects, navigate environments, and more.

DeepMind published a series of demo videos showing robots equipped with Gemini Robotics folding paper, putting a pair of glasses into a case, and other tasks in response to voice commands. According to the lab, Gemini Robotics was trained to generalize behavior across a range of different robotics hardware, and to connect items robots can “see” with actions they might take.

DeepMind claims that in tests, Gemini Robotics allowed robots to perform well in environments not included in the training data. The lab has released a slimmed-down model, Gemini Robotics-ER, that researchers can use to train their own models for robotics control, as well as a benchmark called Asimov for gauging risks with AI-powered robots.
