Complementary to Gemini Robotics -- the massive vision-language-action (VLA) model released yesterday -- we also investigated how far we can push Gemini for robotics _purely from simulation data_ in Proc4Gem: 🧵

Introducing Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental! 🎉 Our newest Gemini model has stellar performance across math and science benchmarks. It’s an incredible model for coding and complex reasoning, and it’s #1 on the lmarena.ai leaderboard by a drastic 40 ELO margin. Only a handful of

Since the first year of my PhD, every talk I’ve given has opened with a slide about the distant north star: dropping a robot in a home it’s never been before and having it do useful things. I think it might be time for me to find a new opening slide 😀. Thrilled to share π-0.5!

Was super fun to demo Gemini Robotics @ Google I/O! This was a big effort with the Google DeepMind team including Coline Devin, Sudeep Dasari, and many others. Here's a fun uncut video of me playing with the demo :)

One of the nicest reviews I’ve ever seen, for our live robotics demo at Google I/O! Walk up to our booth, greet our friendly ALOHA robot, and just talk to it and it will try to do *anything* you ask! ✅ instruction following ✅ generalist ✅ dexterous h/t Brady Snyder

I had a great time chatting with Hannah Fry from Google DeepMind podcast about redefining what’s possible in robotics with Gemini ! Thank you! youtu.be/Rgwty6dGsYI?si… via YouTube

We’re bringing powerful AI directly onto robots with Gemini Robotics On-Device. 🤖 It’s our first vision-language-action model to help make robots faster, highly efficient, and adaptable to new tasks and environments - without needing a constant internet connection. 🧵

Excited to announce what we've been working on: Gemini Robotics On-Device, a VLA model that runs locally and shows strong performance on 3 different robot embodiments! We're also releasing an open source MuJoCo sim for the Aloha 2 platform, and an SDK for trusted testers to use

Love the vibe of the Gemini Robotics On-Device live demo booth in RSS 2025! Especially the genuine excitement from the robotics research community!

We took a robot to RSS in LA running our new Gemini Robotics On-Device VLA model. People interacted with the model with new objects and instructions in a brand new environment and the results were amazing!

An advanced version of Gemini with Deep Think has officially achieved gold medal-level performance at the International Mathematical Olympiad. 🥇 It solved 5️⃣ out of 6️⃣ exceptionally difficult problems, involving algebra, combinatorics, geometry and number theory. Here’s how 🧵

We've added pi-05 to the openpi repo: pi05-base, pi05-droid, pi05-libero. Also added PyTorch training code!🔥 Instructions and code here: github.com/Physical-Intel… This is an updated version of the model we showed cleaning kitchens and bedrooms in April: pi.website/blog/pi05
