Google DeepMind introduced Gemini Robotics 2, describing whole-body control, fine manipulation, and multi-robot collaboration. Demonstrations include tasks that combine locomotion with handling objects, while the company also discusses adapting capabilities across robot bodies.
Context
Combining movement and manipulation expands the range of possible tasks. It also increases the number of ways an apparently simple instruction can go wrong. The meaningful evaluation is sustained performance on hardware in varied environments, with attention to physical constraints and recovery when the world differs from the demonstration.
