Google's new Gemini Robotics 2 platform allows for 'intelligent whole-body control' - Engadget

Google DeepMind announced Gemini Robotics 2, an AI platform designed to control robots performing full-body tasks such as cleaning trash, handling objects, tying garbage bags and screwing in lightbulbs. The article notes that the demonstrations were reportedly fully autonomous, but that the system was trained specifically for the shown tasks and is not yet a general-purpose robot platform. Google says it is working on layered safety measures, including a benchmark intended to identify potentially harmful commands, while consumer-facing robots remain far from release.
