Google releases Gemini Robotics 2.0, claims improved dexterity and safety

Google has released Gemini Robotics 2.0; robots driven by the Gemini AI model can complete more complex tasks, continuously analyze changing environments, and collaborate with other robots. This version includes three new sub-models, among which the upgraded embodied reasoning model Gemini Robotics ER 2 is described by DeepMind as a significant improvement over the previous 1.6 version and has been integrated with the Gemini Live API; another sub-model is available to developers starting that day.
