Google’s Gemini Robotics AI Model Reaches Into the Physical World


Google has developed an AI model that gives humanoids and other robots more intelligence—and a tool designed to give them a moral compass too.

Google DeepMind signaled a plan to change that today—presumably minus the homicidal part—by announcing a new version of its AI model Gemini that fuses language, vision, and physical action together to power a range of more capable, adaptive, and potentially useful robots. Google DeepMind showed that it is keeping pace with these efforts in September 2024, revealing a robot that combines LLMs and new training methods to perform dexterous tasks like tying shoelaces and folding clothes on command. The company appeared to be caught flat-footed by the introduction of ChatGPT in November 2022, but since then it has ramped up efforts to gain an edge by pursuing advances that take AI beyond just text and conversation.
