DeepMind's latest AI model can help robots fold origami and close Ziploc bags


On Wednesday, DeepMind announced two new Gemini-based models it says will "lay the foundation for a new generation of helpful robots."

Since its debut at the end of last year, Gemini 2.0 has gone on to power a handful of Google products, including a new AI Mode chatbot. Finally, there's dexterity, which is mostly self-explanatory: a lot of tasks humans can complete without a second thought involve fine motor skills that are difficult for robots to master. As you can see from the video Google shared, it can even complete tasks despite encountering roadblocks, such as when the researcher moves around the Tupperware he just asked the robot to place the fruit inside of.
