Google Gemini AI will transition from virtual space into real robots by the company Agile Robots

Google and German robotics company Agile Robots have entered a strategic partnership

*Main idea*: Google plans to strengthen its position in artificial intelligence by focusing on physical robots.

What exactly brings the companies together
- Agile Robots is a specialist in intelligent manipulators and humanoid robots equipped with sensors.
- Google (through its DeepMind division) will supply its Gemini Robotics models to Agile Robots’ equipment.

As a result, Agile robots will operate with Google’s AI models, and data on their operation will feed into the company’s systems.

Goals and benefits
1. Transformation of AI application

The partnership involves integrating core Gemini models into the physical world via Agile robots. This will allow both parties to develop new solutions, train models on real-world data, and gradually improve them.

2. Acquisition of practical data

For Google, robotics is a key scenario for AI applications where giants such as Amazon and Tesla compete. Collaborating with Agile gives access to vast amounts of information about robot operation in real conditions.

3. Scaling

Agile has already installed more than 20,000 systems worldwide. Google plans to deploy its models into existing installations, starting with high-value industrial tasks and manufacturing.

4. Development of new models

The partnership will foster the creation of “advanced” AI solutions for future generations of robots.

Context of Google’s robotics collaboration
Year Actions
2023 Launch of Gemini Robotics and partnership with Apptronik (Texas)
2024 DeepMind works on Atlas in collaboration with Boston Dynamics—Translation of Intrinsic (the “Android in robotics” project) under Google management—Hiring former Boston Dynamics CTO Aaron Sonders

However, some employees express dissatisfaction because Boston Dynamics already has contracts with the U.S. Department of Defense.

Conclusion:

Google and Agile Robots combine their strengths: intelligent robots from the German company and powerful Gemini AI models from Google. This collaboration aims to expand the practical capabilities of artificial intelligence in the real world, accelerate the development of new robotic systems, and strengthen Google’s position in the competitive robotics arena.
