Google has developed an AI model that gives humanoids and other robots more intelligence—and a tool designed to give them a moral compass too.

Google DeepMind has released a new model, Gemini Robotics, that combines its best large language model with robotics. Plugging in the LLM seems to give robots the ability to be more dexterous, work from natural-language commands, and generalize across tasks. All three are things that robots have struggled to do until now.
