Google has developed an AI model that gives humanoids and other robots more intelligence—and a tool designed to give them a moral compass too.

Google DeepMind is l aunching two new AI models designed to help robots “perform a wider range of real-world tasks than ever before.” The first, called Gemini Robotics, is a vision-language-action model capable of understanding new situations, even if it hasn’t been trained on them.

Alphabet's Google launched two new AI models tailored for robotics applications on Wednesday based on its Gemini 2.0 model, as it looks to cater to the rapidly growing robotics industry.

Google DeepMind's Gemini Robotics models are designed to enable real-world machines to interact with objects, navigate environments, and more.

Unlike traditional generative AI that produces text and images, these new models focus on translating AI capabilities into physical action commands that control robots. This represents a significant evolution in how AI can interact with and manipulate the physical environment around us.
