Gemini Robotics ER 2: powering robotics with video understanding, task orchestration, and multi-robot collaboration

Gemini Robotics ER 2 is an AI model designed to serve as a high-level brain for robots, enabling them to understand the physical world, plan multi-step tasks, and work together. The model matters because robots need to reason and act at real-world speeds, track their own progress through video feeds, and know when tasks are complete, capabilities that are essential for robots to assist humans in everyday environments. Key improvements include better video understanding for tracking task progress, the ability for multiple robots to collaborate in shared spaces, and faster execution speeds that eliminate delays in decision-making. The model is now available to developers through multiple platforms and represents a significant upgrade over its predecessor.
