What stands out
What its maker marketed at launch, and what people found later, each with its source.
Whole-body humanoid control from a VLA
Google’s first VLA to control an entire humanoid (walking, crouching, balancing while manipulating) rather than only the upper body; e.g. Apollo with Inspire hands: 68.4% pick from table, 45.7% from floor, 76.3% from shelf.
Multi-finger and gripper dexterity across embodiments
Same model drives multi-fingered hands and grippers (Franka Duo: 89.6% precise insertion; Apollo with SharpaWave hands: 92% unscrew bulb).
Paired with ER 2 planner
Designed to be called by Gemini Robotics ER 2, which plans, tracks progress and coordinates multiple robots.
Notes
Vision-language-action model (outputs robot motor commands; modality ‘action’). No public API or weights: available only to early-access partners (Apptronik, Boston Dynamics, Agile Robots, Franka, 100+ trusted testers) via waitlist form. DeepMind says ‘for the first time, our model can control entire humanoid robots’ - first for Google, not industry-first (Figure Helix 02 showed whole-body VLA control in Jan 2026). Predecessor: Gemini Robotics 1.5 (Sep 2025), itself trusted-tester only.
