- R · What Makes It Special
- Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6 (April 14, 2026), Google DeepMind's reasoning-first robotics model, a vision-language model based on Gemini 3.0 Flash that acts as a robot's high-level planner, calling tools like Google Search or vision-language-action models. It beat ER 1.5 and Gemini 3.0 Flash at pointing, counting and success detection, even across camera views, and added instrument reading, built with Boston Dynamics for Spot. Its API preview shut down August 31, 2026; Robotics-ER 2 replaced it.
