DeepMind’s latest robotics framework debuts three new models, expanding vision-language-action capabilities from isolated tabletop manipulation to full-body humanoid control, high-DoF tactile dexterity, and multi-agent coordination.

Munich-based Agile Robots and Google DeepMind have announced a strategic research partnership to integrate Gemini Robotics foundation models with industrial hardware, aiming to solve the "data bottleneck" through a scalable AI flywheel.

Waymo has unveiled its new World Model, powered by Google DeepMind’s Genie 3, to simulate rare "long-tail" driving scenarios and edge cases, signaling a major shift toward generative world models in the race for physical AI.

Google DeepMind has launched Project Genie, an experimental tool powered by the Genie 3 world model that creates interactive 3D environments from text and images. Beyond gaming, the technology serves as a cornerstone of DeepMind’s strategy to solve the robotics data bottleneck and achieve physical AGI.

In a candid season finale of the Google DeepMind podcast, Demis Hassabis outlines why language models aren't enough for robotics and how the synergy between world-generators like Genie and agents like SIMA will bridge the gap to physical AI.
