## Summary

Google DeepMind demonstrated a robot training technique alongside the release of Gemini 4 Argon: after watching raw video of a person playing cornhole, the model analyzes the environment, maps spatial coordinates, and computes full-body joint motion, automatically generating simulation code, then transfers the learned behavior to Apptronik's Apollo humanoid robot, which hit seven consecutive shots in real-machine testing.
