That\u2019s why today we&#8217;re introducing Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6, an upgrade to our reasoning-first model that enables robots to understand their environments with unprecedented precision.<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"3qnkr\">By enhancing spatial logic and multi-view understanding, we\u2019re bringing a new level of autonomy to the next generation of physical agents. This model specializes in capabilities critical for robotics, including visual and spatial understanding, task planning and success detection.<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"5fr77\">We\u2019re also helping robots with instrument reading, a new capability to enable robots to read complex gauges and sight glasses \u2014 a capability discovered through collaboration with Boston Dynamics. Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6 is our safest robotics model to date, demonstrating superior compliance with safety policies on adversarial spatial reasoning tasks.<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"40eq4\">Starting today, Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6 is available to developers via the Gemini API and Google AI Studio.
