The underwater centipede seems like one of the robotic form factors that will survive.

Interesting to watch the evolution of these things and realize in a decade they’re going to all over the ocean.

[Robotics] Figure 02 fully autonomous driven by Helix (VLA model) - The policy is flipping packages to orientate the barcode down and has learned to flatten packages for the scanner (like a human would)

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. 🧵

What makes this new model unique?

🔵 It has the generality and dexterity of Gemini Robotics - but it can run locally on the device
🔵 It can handle a wide variety of complex, two-handed tasks out of the box
🔵 It can learn new skills with as few as 50-100 demonstrations

From humanoids to industrial bi-arm robots, the model supports multiple embodiments, even though it was pre-trained on ALOHA - while following instructions from humans. 💬

These tasks may seem easy for us but require fine motor skills, precise manipulation and more. ↓

We're also launching the Gemini Robotics software development kit (SDK) to help developers fine-tune the model for their own applications, including by testing it in the MuJoCo physics simulator. 🌐

Our new on-device solution runs independent of a data network - making it optimal for applications needing speed, or situations with poor connectivity.

We’re excited to continue exploring the future of bringing AI into the physical world. Find out more → Gemini Robotics On-Device brings AI to local robotic devices

Breakdown of the paper behind it:

Title: Gemini Robotics: Bringing AI into the Physical World

The study addresses the challenge of bringing advanced artificial intelligence, particularly large multimodal models that excel in digital tasks, into the physical world to control robots. While these models show impressive general abilities in areas like understanding text and images, making robots truly useful requires them to understand and interact with the physical world competently and safely. This involves what the paper calls "embodied reasoning," which is the common sense humans have about 3D environments, object relationships, and basic physics. Current robots often lack this deep understanding, limiting their ability to perform complex, general tasks.

About time. Still playing catch up in research?

@purepathwill
Impressive.

These on-device models put Gemini Robotics firmly on track to become the 'Android of Robotics'.

In the limit, OEMs will just need to focus on building the best robotics hardware, and simply use Gemini for the 'brain'.

Swiss-Mile Robot vs. Employees

RIVR engineers explored a straightforward question: who is faster—the robot or a human? With a top speed of 27 km/h (17.8 mph), the robot outpaces most people. However, this comparison highlights a broader point: while autonomous systems offer speed and efficiency, they ultimately depend on the expertise and support of the human team behind them.

That was a good race! But let’s be honest, without humans, we’d all just be parked 😅

Seeing a robot dash at 27 km/h is a thrill! But, it's human brains behind this marvel. Are our own robots far from challenging Usain Bolt? Kudos to the genius engineers driving tech forward! 🚀

Description
We are excited to share some of our progress on developing Large Behavior Models (LBMs) for Atlas. This work is part of a collaboration between AI research teams at Toyota Research Institute (TRI) and Boston Dynamics. We have been building end-to-end language-conditioned policies that enable Atlas to accomplish long-horizon manipulation tasks.

@Sentdex
This is incredible

@oscarle_x
How come it does hard things that fast, while Tesla Optimus scoops popcorn takes a whole minute like 0.25x slow motion



3/26
@Sentdex
The G1 is fast becoming the defacto research platform for humanoids. Optimus seems to be on a solid path tho too. Think they were being very cautious with that demo since it was around other bystanders.



4/26
@MartinShkreli
i can do that



5/26
@Sentdex
Let's see the video!



6/26
@netconstructor
I wonder for how long this little guy can operate at that incredible speed. Unitree is really demonstrating some amazing progress



7/26
@Sentdex
I would imagine this is not the first, nor only, G1 this lab has. I wish we could much more easily acquire spare parts for the G1s. I suspect tho if you're in China like they are, access to spare parts is much easier than here in the USA.



8/26
@envolate
can u do it with your roboter and film it?



9/26
@Sentdex
If they shared the policy with me, sure. But I doubt they'd do that. Happy to validate it though if they did. It's very impressive.



10/26
@DeAiDave
What the hell.
The actuators in that thing are fast and ridiculously powerful.

Must be expensive as hell.



11/26
@Sentdex
apx $40K-50K USD, can be more or less depending on a few factors. But yes, the actuators are exceptionally strong and capable of very fast movement.



12/26
@RustyRoad
Paging @GoingBallistic5 is this sped up or is this thing really that fast ?



13/26
@Sentdex
I have a G1 right next to me. It's that fast.



14/26
@ArmoredShawn
shyt, you just know they’re going to be used for war. Military industrial complex salivating



15/26
@Sentdex
When it comes to war, i think there are far more efficient form factors to go with. Humanoids make sense for consumers. I really dont see it for mil



16/26
@Pseudo_Prophet_
This is an exceptional accident, not the norm.😂😂



17/26

this looks like the firmware software, not a custom model. This research lab is running their own here.

I don’t think it really realized that it fell down, it just bounced back up.
