Robots such as Boston Dynamics’ four-legged Spot can now accurately read analog thermometers and pressure gauges while roaming around factories and warehouses. Those improvements come courtesy of Google DeepMind’s newest robotic AI model that aims to enhance robotic capabilities for ‘embodied reasoning’ when interacting with physical environments.
The new Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6 model announced on April 14 performs as a “high-level reasoning model for a robot” that can plan and execute tasks, according to Google DeepMind. This model also unlocks the capability of accurately reading instruments such as complex gauges and doing visual inspections using sight glasses that provide a transparent window to peek inside tanks and pipes—a performance upgrade that came about through Google DeepMind’s ongoing collaboration with robotics company Boston Dynamics.
Boston Dynamics has a keen interest in testing both quadruped and humanoid robotic workers in a wide range of industrial facilities, including the automotive factories of the robotic company’s corporate owner, Hyundai Motor Group. The company’s robot “dog,” Spot, is being trialled as a robotic inspector that roams throughout industrial facilities to check up on everything. Such inspection duties require “complex visual reasoning” to interpret the multiple needles, liquid levels, container boundaries and tick marks, along with text, in various instruments.
