DeepMind boosts Gemini Robotics 2.5 with higher success, speed, and safety benchmark

By PulseAugur Editorial · [3 sources] ·

Google DeepMind has introduced Gemini Robotics 2.5, an advanced AI platform for robots that demonstrates significant improvements in dexterity and speed. This new version boasts a 30-100% higher success rate on complex tasks and operates 20-30% faster than its predecessor. In real-world trials at Mercedes-Benz factories, Gemini-powered Apollo 2 robots achieved a 96% success rate in kitting automotive parts, though DeepMind acknowledges a remaining gap to human-level performance.
