Google says Gemini AI is making its robots smarter


And maybe identify and fetch your favorite soda.

DeepMind found “preliminary evidence” that Gemini enables its robots to plan how to undertake complex tasks from simple instructions. The robot can then undertake commands based on what it has observed using verbal and/or image outputs — such as guiding users to a power outlet after being shown a phone and asked “where can I charge this?” DeepMind says its Gemini-powered robot had a 90 percent success rate across over 50 user instructions that were given in a 9,000+ square foot operating area. The video demonstrations provided by Google are impressive, though the obvious cuts after the droid acknowledges each request hide that it takes between 10-30 seconds to process these instructions, according to the research paper.
