Robot foundation models

Google DeepMind

Google DeepMind develops Gemini Robotics models for robot action and embodied reasoning. Its portfolio separates vision-language-action control, higher-level planning and on-device inference, so access and evidence must be tracked by exact model revision.

Identity boundary. Added with root approval from the manifest NVIDIA ecosystem substitution queue to represent the verified developer of Gemini Robotics; not an extra speculative company route.

Distinct model roles

The VLA model turns visual and language input into robot actions. The ER model supports reasoning and planning; the on-device model emphasizes local execution.

Exact revision matters

The current family page names the second-generation models. Evidence for earlier revisions cannot be silently carried across to the current family.

What this evidence does not establish

  • Any-embodiment language remains a vendor claim.
  • Model-specific terms and integration requirements must be reviewed separately.
