Google Launches Gemini Robotics ER 2 with Advanced Reasoning
Google has made a new robot brain called Gemini Robotics ER 2.
It helps robots think about what to do next while they are already working.
The robot can look at videos, understand tools, and fix mistakes on its own.
It can also work with other robots to finish big jobs.
The new brain stops the robot if someone is close, making it safer.
Google made this to make robots smarter and safer, especially as the U.S. is worried about Chinese-made robots.
Google unveiled Gemini Robotics ER 2, a new AI model that boosts robot dexterity and control.
The model adds high‑level reasoning, letting robots plan multi‑step tasks, track progress, and adapt to errors in real time.
Gemini ER 2 can call external tools like Google Search and supports multi‑robot collaboration in shared environments.
The update improves video understanding, spatial reasoning, and safety, enabling robots to detect failures and halt near humans.
The release comes amid FCC plans to ban future sales of Chinese‑made robots over security concerns.
