Google's AI model lets robots work offline

Google has launched Gemini Robotics On-Device, a new AI model that allows robots to operate offline, enhancing their utility in various environments. The AI model runs locally on robots, eliminating the need for a constant internet connection and enabling faster task execution. It builds upon the original Gemini Robotics model and is designed for bi-arm robots, offering lower latency and robust task handling. The model has been successfully adapted for different robot bodies and is accompanied by a Software Development Kit (SDK) for developers. Google emphasizes safety, with the model undergoing thorough testing to prevent unsafe behaviors.
