Google DeepMind has unveiled artificial intelligence models that further advance reasoning capabilities in robotics, enabling them to solve harder problems and complete more complicated real world tasks like sorting laundry and recycling rubbish.
The company’s new robotics models, called Gemini Robotics 1.5 and Gemini Robotics-ER 1.5, are designed to help robots complete multi-step tasks by “thinking” before they act, as part of the tech industry’s push to make the general-purpose machines more useful in the everyday world.
According to Google DeepMind, a robot trained using its new model was able to plan how to complete tasks that might take several minutes, such as folding laundry into different baskets based on colour.
