Google DeepMind just announced a new version of its artificial intelligence model Gemini that can control a range of robots. The company released a video of the Gemini Robotics 2 platform in action and the results are fairly impressive. The original Gemini Robotics system could already power bots that performed finicky actions like closing storage bags and folding origami, but that was done via robotic arms and hands. This operates in stark contrast to Elon Musk's Optimus robots, as a high-profile demo was proven to have used teleoperators to control the bots. He once stated we'd have 50,000 to 100,000 Optimus robots by 2026 and 1,000 of the little bots roaming around manufacturing facilities by the end of 2025.
