In a pilot, a humanoid kitted car parts on active Mercedes lines: is the factory where these robots clock in first? On Nov 10, Google DeepMind introduced Gemini Robotics 2.5, a vision-language-action model now rolling out to robotics partners. Per Google DeepMind, Apptronik's Apollo 2 used Gemini Robotics ER to track the workflow and Gemini Robotics 2.5 to move its hands and arms, kitting car parts at a 96% success rate in a proof-of-concept on Mercedes-Benz production lines in Hungary and Germany. Per Google DeepMind, handing robots that repetitive prep could free technicians for complex build tasks. DeepMind is also releasing ASIMOV-Jailbreak, an open-source benchmark that tests robot safety against adversarial jailbreaks. deepmind.google/blog/gemini-… Factory floors first makes sense, but the humanoid I'm waiting for is the one that takes over my chores at home. Follow for more of the robot work I'm watching. Kitting parts into the right trays, in the right order? Apollo 2 is putting it all together.
