Gemini

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.

Google DeepMind has appointed Aaron Saunders, a 23-year veteran of Boston Dynamics, as VP of Hardware Engineering. The move signals a major push to turn Gemini into a universal operating system for physical AI.

In a new interview, Google DeepMind's Carolina Parada discusses the 'agentic' two-part brain of Gemini Robotics 1.5, its 'surprising' ability to transfer skills between different robots, and why she believes the home will be 'one of the last frontiers' for the technology.

Google DeepMind has unveiled Gemini Robotics 1.5, a new AI framework designed to move robots beyond simple command-following to become 'physical agents' that can reason, plan, and learn skills across different hardware, like Apptronik's Apollo humanoid.
