Google DeepMind has introduced its Gemini Robotics project, which features two new models that enable robots to "think" before acting by integrating generative AI capabilities. The Gemini Robotics 1.5 model generates robot actions using visual and text data, while the Gemini Robotics-ER 1.5 model employs simulated reasoning to make decisions about complex tasks, enhancing the versatility of AI-powered robots. This advancement aims to overcome the limitations of traditional robots that require extensive training for specific tasks.
