Google announced a new version of its artificial intelligence system (AI) Gemini Robotics, which can function without connecting to the Internet.
The updated system is called Gemini Robotics on-Device.
The development of technology directly affects the capabilities of robotics. The Gemini Robotics project, based on the Gemini 2.0 language model, was developed by the Google division by Deepmind.
It allows robots to perform tasks with greater efficiency using AI-algorithms.
, as part of the development of the Google system, collaborates with a number of leading robots manufacturers, including Apptronik, Agile Robots, Agility Robotics, Boston Dynamics and Enchanted Tools.
Robots can now work without clouds
Gemini Robotics allows robots to perform a wide range of actions: from packaging gifts to folding clothes and organizing objects in boxes.
The system is characterized by adaptability, the possibility of interacting with a person and the implementation of accurate, sensitive tasks.
To date, the system functioned in the cloud and required connecting to the Internet. However, with the release of the Gemini Robotics On-Device version, robots will be able to perform complex operations without the need to enter the network.
Working on built-in computing modules, the new version ensures the performance of tasks in the absence of an Internet connection, which is especially important to maintain data privacy.
In addition, local data processing minimizes delays, increasing efficiency in tasks requiring efficiency.
The system is already adapted for use on various models of robots, including the Apollo Humanoid robot from Apptronik.
At the same time, the level of performance of offline versions is comparable to the cloud option.
