Gemini Robotics 2.5
Gemini Robotics 2.5 is Google DeepMind's vision-language-action model for robots, aimed at learning a wider range of skills faster. Across more than 200 tasks, it reports a 30% to 100% higher success rate than previous baselines, depending on task type, while completing tasks 20% to 30% faster. In a proof-of-concept with Apptronik's Apollo 2 humanoid on Mercedes-Benz production lines, it reached a 96% success rate on automotive kitting. The release also includes ASIMOV-Jailbreak, an open-source benchmark of prompts that disguise unsafe requests, and the model is rolling out to robotics partners.
