Google DeepMind Launches Gemini Robotics ER 2 with Video Understanding and Multi-Robot Collaboration

Google DeepMind has released Gemini Robotics ER 2, a new generation of physical AI models targeting whole-body control, fine-grained dexterity, and coordinated multi-robot task execution. The system integrates video understanding directly into robot control loops, enabling robots to interpret visual context and orchestrate complex, multi-step tasks without hand-coded logic. A dedicated task orchestration layer allows multiple robots to collaborate on shared objectives, a capability with major implications for industrial and logistics automation. For developers working on robotics pipelines or physical AI integrations, the ER 2 models represent a significant jump in what off-the-shelf foundation models can handle in real-world environments. This is an official DeepMind release covering a distinct product from prior Gemini Robotics announcements.
