Gemini Robotics ER 1.6: Enhanced Embodied Reasoning Gemini Robotics ER 1.6 upgrades spatial reasoning and multi-view understanding, unlocking new capabilities like instrument reading for autonomous robots.

The model is available now on Google AI Studio, and the Gemini API. Find out more → goo.gle/4cuBh1f

Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6 is also our safest robotics model yet, and able to recognize physical constraints like avoiding liquids or items over 20kg when following instructions. It's also 10% better at detecting human injury risks in videos.

Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6 is significantly better at spatial and physical reasoning, meaning:

👉 It can use pointing to precisely identify objects

✅ Agents can intelligently choose where to retry a task or move forward

👓 Robots are able to read and interpret a variety of instruments

We’re rolling out an upgrade designed to help robots reason about the physical world. 🤖

Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6 has significantly better visual and spatial understanding in order to plan and complete more useful tasks.

Here’s why this is important 🧵

Groundsource: using AI to help communities better predict natural disasters Groundsource is a new AI-powered methodology from Google Research that transforms millions of public records into actionable data.

3) That data was used to train a new model designed to help predict flash floods in urban areas up to 24 hours in advance.

Learn more about Groundsource → goo.gle/3NzOX2k

1) It used Gemini to analyze decades of public reports and identified over 2.6 million historical flood events from 150+ countries.
2) It then used @GoogleMaps to determine precise geographic boundaries for each event to create a dataset focused on flash floods.

Groundsource is a new AI-powered methodology that transforms millions of public reports into a high-quality record of historical disaster data to aid crisis prediction.

How our open-source AI model SpeciesNet is helping to promote wildlife conservation An overview of SpeciesNet, our open-source AI model that is helping people around the world protect and conserve wildlife.

We launched it as a free, open-source tool a year ago, and today, research groups are using it to make sense of their camera data faster than ever. See how our open-source Earth AI model SpeciesNet is helping to promote wildlife monitoring and conservation worldwide. goo.gle/4riXtRk

A collage shows wildlife in North American forests. Each animal, including three black bears and a coyote, is framed by a colored box with a species label and a high confidence percentage.

The four photos show African wildlife in their natural habitat at various times of day. Digital overlays identify the animals, such as an "elephant: 99.8%" and a "lion: 99.4%," for data collection purposes.

SpeciesNet is an Earth AI model trained to automatically identify nearly 2,500 categories of mammals, birds and reptiles from data captured by motion-triggered wildlife cameras.
