Google DeepMind Launches Gemini Robotics ER 2 for Multi-Robot Coordination

Jul 30, 2026

On July 30, 2026, Google DeepMind launched Gemini Robotics ER 2, an advanced embodied reasoning AI model for humanoid robots. The model enables real-time planning during movement, continuous video monitoring to detect and retry failed steps, and multi-robot collaboration, demonstrated using Apptronik’s Apollo 2 and the Franka F3 Duo. Gemini Robotics ER 2 is accessible via the Gemini API, Google AI Studio, and the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform.

Gemini Robotics ER 2 launch

▪Google DeepMind launched Gemini Robotics ER 2, an embodied reasoning AI model designed to power humanoid robots, on July 30, 2026.
▪Gemini Robotics ER 2 enables robots to communicate with humans, understand physical environments, plan multi-step workflows, and hand off actions to compatible models.

Model version history

▪Google DeepMind released Gemini Robotics ER 1.5 in September 2025 and Gemini Robotics ER 1.6 in April 2026.
▪Google DeepMind introduced the Gemini Robotics family of Gemini 2.0-based AI models in March 2025.

Continuous video understanding

▪Gemini Robotics ER 2 achieved 57.4% accuracy in progress-classification tests and 91.3% accuracy in identifying the exact moment of important events.
▪Gemini Robotics ER 2 features continuous video understanding, allowing it to monitor tasks, estimate progress, detect failures, and retry individual steps.
