Google’s new robotics AI can run without the cloud and still tie your shoes
Google's Carolina Parada says Gemini has enabled huge robotics breakthroughs, like the new on-device AI.
We sometimes call chatbots like Gemini and ChatGPT "robots," but generative AI is also playing a growing role in real, physical robots. After announcing Gemini Robotics earlier this year, Google DeepMind has now revealed a new on-device VLA (vision language action) model to control robots. Unlike the previous release, there's no cloud component, allowing robots to operate with full autonomy.
Carolina Parada, head of robotics at Google DeepMind, says this approach to AI robotics could make robots more reliable in challenging situations. This is also the first version of Google's robotics model that developers can tune for their specific uses.
Robotics is a unique problem for AI because, not only does the robot exist in the physical world, but it also changes its environment. Whether you're having it move blocks around or tie your shoes, it's hard to predict every eventuality a robot might encounter. The traditional approach of training a robot on action with reinforcement was very slow, but generative AI allows for much greater generalization.
