## Where it stands

- Newer robotics models in the registry since its release: 6. The 5 newest:
  - Praxis-1 (2026-09-30) https://postcutoff.com/m/praxis-1/
  - Helix 2.5 (2026-09-17) https://postcutoff.com/m/figure-helix-2-5/
  - UnifoLM-WLA-1.0 (2026-09-10) https://postcutoff.com/m/unifolm-wla-1-0/
  - Skild S1 (Skild Brain) (2026-08-25) https://postcutoff.com/m/skild-s1/
  - Generalist GEN-1.5 (2026-08-19) https://postcutoff.com/m/generalist-gen-1-5/
- Before it from Google: Gemini Robotics-ER 1.5 / 1.6 (2025-09-25) https://postcutoff.com/m/gemini-robotics-er-1/
- Closed weights.

## What stands out

- 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). Source: https://deepmind.google/blog/gemini-robotics-2-brings-whole-body-intelligence-to-robots/
- Paired with ER 2 planner: Designed to be called by Gemini Robotics ER 2, which plans, tracks progress and coordinates multiple robots. Source: https://deepmind.google/blog/gemini-robotics-2-brings-whole-body-intelligence-to-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.

Google DeepMind's flagship vision-language-action model for humanoids and bi-arm robots.
