Gemini Robotics 2 Gives Google’s Robots Full-Body Intelligence
The model family adds planning, on-device operation and multi-robot collaboration, and Google says it can help humanoid robots walk, crouch and manipulate objects.
- On July 30, 2026, Google DeepMind introduced Gemini Robotics 2, an AI model family enabling whole-body humanoid control. The system allows robots to coordinate complex movements across legs, torso, arms and hands for dexterous manipulation and multi-robot collaboration.
- Gemini Robotics ER 2 and Gemini Robotics On-Device 2 serve as intelligence layers, enabling robots to understand visual instructions and plan multi-step tasks in real-world spaces. This represents a shift toward physical AI agents that operate beyond controlled lab environments.
- Separately, Behzad Peykari, Chief Innovation Officer at Human in Motion Robotics, developed XoMotion, a self-balancing exoskeleton using reinforcement learning. The system trains on grass, sand and uneven ground, allowing individuals with mobility impairments to stand and walk independently.
- Already cleared for sale in Canada with installations in rehabilitation centers, Peykari's team pursues U.S. FDA clearance. "It is a humanoid system that can walk on its own," Peykari says, positioning the technology as a wheelchair replacement.
- While Google's research targets industrial logistics and manufacturing applications, Peykari's work demonstrates robotics' potential to restore personal autonomy. These parallel advances signal rapid evolution in physical AI systems designed to safely operate alongside humans daily.

A Brain That Can Swap Bodies: Google DeepMind Aims To Be The ‘Android’ Of Robotics
This post was republished with permission from Zero Hedge Google DeepMind unveiled Gemini Robotics 2 on Wednesday, a suite of three AI models that gives humanoid and other robots whole-body control, sharper manipulation, and the ability to work together. The system can run locally on the robot itself and adapt to an entirely new machine body with a few...
Gemini Robotics 2 gives Google’s robots full-body intelligence
Google DeepMind has introduced Gemini Robotics 2, a new AI system designed to give robots more control over their whole bodies, not just their arms or hands. The company says the model can help humanoid robots walk, crouch, stretch, manipulate objects and work with other robots on longer tasks. That matters because robotics is moving beyond scripted machines on factory lines. We’re now watching AI models become the “brain” that lets machines und…
