Gemini Robotics 2 and Robotics-ER 2
Gemini Robotics 2 drives whole humanoid bodies and bi-arm robots with one checkpoint; ER 2 adds video understanding, task orchestration and multi-robot coordination.
The VLA now controls full humanoids from feet to fingertips plus dexterous hands and grippers, transferring across embodiments with a few hours of data. ER 2 is in AI Studio; the VLA and On-Device models go to early-access partners.
