Gemini Robotics 1.5 and Robotics-ER 1.5
Gemini Robotics 1.5 (VLA that shows its reasoning) plus Robotics-ER 1.5 (tool-calling planner); ER opens in the Gemini API, the VLA to select partners.
Splits the work. ER reasons about the physical world, plans multi-step missions and natively calls digital tools, then hands steps to the VLA, which shows its reasoning and learns across robot embodiments. Marketed as "physical agents".
