  • 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.
