DeepMind has launched a new artificial intelligence model called Gemini Robotics On-Device, designed to enable powerful AI robots to operate independently.
This innovative model allows AI-powered robots to function without an internet connection, a significant departure from traditional systems that rely on remote servers.
The system ensures robots can operate in virtually any location on Earth or in space, providing robustness in environments with intermittent or zero connectivity.
The next-generation AI allows robots to independently carry out everyday tasks, such as folding clothes or unzipping bags, and can quickly learn new tasks from 50 to 100 demonstrations.
The model is adaptable to different types of robots and tasks, with other leading AI firms like Nvidia also developing similar on-device AI solutions for humanoid robot development.
