I was doing this demo. In the beginning, I just prompted to connect to the robot and it figured out how to connect through ssh, and when I asked to move it's neck, it just went through the codebase and understood how to command each joint.
Really exciting to see how good Gemini 4 Argon is for robotics problems. It will change the way we do robotics significantly and accelerate our pace towards physical AGI. Checkout our blogpost developers.googleblog.com/ge… for more ideas and looking forward to more creative use cases!
Gemini 4 Argon taught a robot to play cornhole just by watching a video.
It mapped the physics, coded its own simulation, and taught @Apptronik's Apollo humanoid to sink 7 throws in a row.
Really cool to see the smooth motion and it's quite impressive that this is achieved without teleop data. Congrats @chenwang_j @zipengfu and team!
We'll be organizing a World Model for Robotics workshop at NeurIPS 2026 this year. Submission ddl Aug 29th, robowm-ws.github.io/. Looking forward to the submissions from everyone and hearing insights from our amazing speakers!

Playing with Gemini Robotics 2 on Apollo is so fun!
The incredible thing about whole body generalization in 3D space on humanoids is that all the recovery, retry and reactive behaviors look very human-like - like having a proto human intelligence in a metal body in your lab.
Unseen task, unscripted motions.

Let's talk #safety. #GeminiRobotics ER 2 is our safest model yet, SOTA in safe instruction following and human proximity detection. Intelligent general purpose robots need "physical common sense", one of many layers. Lots more work to do.

Combining real-time interactivity, task understanding, and full-body action prediction on a humanoid is so, so hard.
Here's an example where we bring all of these together in Gemini Robotics 2 🤖🧠

Excited to share what we've been working on! 🤖
With Gemini Robotics 2 we can bridge the sim2real gap and learn new tasks entirely from simulation!
Here it is performing an automotive kitting task, handling bimanual grasping, 3D reorientations, and tight insertions. 👇

We got many comments saying the release videos are cool, but do the models actually work?
We stress tested Gemini Robotics 2 to show its impressive robustness and recovery capabilities.
It's amazing to see how it keeps trying until the task is done
Really excited to share what we’ve been cooking. There has been so many magical moments when the robot took its first steps, tied the first knot, inserted the first cassette and so on. Super proud of the team!

We’re rolling out an upgrade designed to help robots reason about the physical world. 🤖
Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6 has significantly better visual and spatial understanding in order to plan and complete more useful tasks. Here’s why this is important 🧵

My favorite part of working on Genie for the past few years has been seeing the unexpected things people do with it. Super excited to share Project Genie with US Ultra Users, can't wait to see what you all create with it!!😀😀😀
Exciting time ahead!
Google DeepMind 🤝 @BostonDynamics
Our new research partnership will bring together our advancements in Gemini Robotics’s foundational capabilities to their new Atlas® humanoids. 🦾

Generalist robots need a generalist evaluator. But how do you test safety without breaking things? 💥

Excited to share our latest work on Gemini Robotics 1.5! Our model can effectively learn from experience of drastically different robots, think on its own, and act as an agent. It’s an important step towards creating a general, intelligent, and friendly robot!
We’re making robots more capable than ever in the physical world. 🤖
Gemini Robotics 1.5 is a levelled up agentic system that can reason better, plan ahead, use digital tools such as @Google Search, interact with humans and much more. Here’s how it works 🧵
