Google’s new robot AI can fold delicate origami, close zipper bags without damage
Google Gemini Robotics AI model gives robots fine motor skills and adaptability for general world use.
Gemini Robotics includes what Google calls "vision-language-action" (VLA) abilities, allowing it to process visual information, understand language commands, and generate physical movements. While RT-2 was limited to repurposing physical movements it had already practiced, Gemini Robotics reportedly demonstrates significantly enhanced dexterity that enables previously impossible tasks like origami folding and packing snacks into Zip-loc bags. While the demo videos Google shared depict advancements in AI-driven capabilities, the controlled research environments still leave open questions about how these systems would actually perform in unpredictable real-world settings.
