Google unveils Gemini robotics model for local robot operation

Google DeepMind just dropped Gemini Robotics On-Device—a new model that lets robots do their thing without needing internet.
It's built for fast, reliable task execution even when Wi-Fi is spotty or totally down.
Developers can try it out using Google's toolkit and see how it performs in real-world situations.

TL;DR

Gemini started with ALOHA robots but now runs on others

Gemini started with ALOHA robots but now runs on others too, like the Franka FR3 (which can fold clothes and handle industrial tasks) and the Apollo humanoid robot (which follows natural language commands).
Google is inviting developers to test Gemini through its trusted tester program, making it easier to adapt these robots quickly to new environments.
