What happened
Google DeepMind has revealed Gemini Robotics 2.5, a new version of its vision-language-action model for generating robot actions. The report says it was evaluated on more than 200 activities, including serving food with tongs and using a pipette, and describes an Apptronik Apollo 2 robot tying a bow. DeepMind is also preparing an open source safety benchmark for robots operating alongside people.
