DeepMind Launches Gemini Robotics 2 for Humanoid Robots

Google DeepMind has unveiled the Gemini Robotics 2 model series, designed to power humanoid robots capable of collaborating on complex, multi-step tasks. The lineup centers on Gemini Robotics ER 2, an embodied reasoning model that accepts natural language instructions, splits tasks across multiple robots, and uses tool calling to access external services like Google Search. Two companion VLA models translate plans into physical robot commands. Gemini Robotics 2 controls entire robot bodies to reduce fall risk, while Gemini Robotics On-Device 2 runs locally on robot hardware with minimal training. DeepMind also released the ASIMOV-Agentic Benchmark to evaluate robot safety.
