Google DeepMind has released Gemini Robotics 2, the intelligence layer for its next generation of robots. The release moves the stack past table-top manipulation into whole body control, five finger dexterity and multi robot teamwork. It ships as three separate models with three different access tiers.
Most robots today are pre-programmed or tele-operated for narrow, repetitive task sequences. They do not adapt to unpredictable environments, and skills rarely transfer between robot bodies. Gemini Robotics 2 targets all three limits at once.
TL;DR
Three models ship together: a VLA, an embodied reasoning VLM, and an on-device VLA.
One checkpoint drives Apollo 2 with two different hands plus a Franka Duo gripper.
Gemini Robotics ER 2 is public preview; the VLA and on-device models stay gated.
Multi-finger dexterity is still the weak axis, ranging from 32% to 92%.
ASIMOV-Agentic, a new safety benchmark, is on Hugging Face under CC-BY-4.0.
3 Models and What They Do
Gemini Robotics 2
Gemini Robotics 2 is the vision-language-action (VLA) model. It converts vision and language input into motor control. It can drive full humanoids from feet to fingertips, and other bi-arm robots. It also handles dexterous manipulation on both multi-finger hands and parallel grippers.
Gemini Robotics ER 2
Gemini Robotics ER 2 is the embodied reasoning (ER) model. It is a vision language model that acts as the high level brain. It communicates with humans, understands the physical world, and plans multi-step tasks lasting several minutes. Per its model card, ER 2 is based on Gemini 3.5 …
