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.
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.
