In a major step forward for robotics, Google has introduced Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6, an AI upgrade designed to help robots better understand and operate in real-world environments.
The new system enables robots to go beyond basic programmed tasks. Instead of following fixed routines, they can now analyse their surroundings and make decisions independently, improving their ability to handle complex situations.
Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6 also improves visual and spatial awareness. Robots can now identify and count objects even in cluttered spaces. By using multiple camera views, they can build a more complete understanding of their environment.
With these capabilities, robots can plan tasks, monitor their own progress, and adjust actions as needed. They are also able to detect and avoid hazards such as spills, and steer clear of objects weighing more than 20 kg, without constant human supervision.
The upgrade is expected to improve safety and reliability in environments such as complex and industrial facilities, where precision and adaptability are critical.
This development highlights the growing role of AI in making robots more capable, efficient, and suitable for real-world applications.
