Google DeepMind unveils Gemini Robotics 2 for physical AGI

Google DeepMind has unveiled Gemini Robotics 2, a vision-language-action model embodied in a humanoid robot, aiming to achieve "physical AGI" capable of performing any human task. The system integrates multiple AI models for intelligent whole-body control, allowing robots to perceive, reason, and coordinate movements, and even collaborate with other robots. While demonstrations show robots completing tasks like tying trash bags, significant safety hurdles and real-world deployment challenges remain, with analysts suggesting widespread human-robot collaboration is still aspirational and initial value will likely be found in controlled environments like factories.
