Gemini Robotics On-Device

Fast, Offline AI for Real-World Robots

What is Gemini Robotics On-Device?

Gemini Robotics On-Device is Google DeepMind’s latest robotics AI model, designed to run entirely on robotic hardware, no cloud or internet required. Built atop the Gemini Vision-Language-Action (VLA) architecture, it empowers robots to interpret vision, language, audio, and real-world context, then act instantly and autonomously. This results in robust, low-latency performance fit for industrial factories, mobile service robots, and any setting demanding speed, safety, and adaptability.

Key Features of Gemini Robotics On-Device

Offline, Local Operation

All AI reasoning, vision, text, and action occur on the robot for zero-latency control, privacy, and independence from cloud outages.

Dexterous Multimodal Skillset

Handles complex dual-arm tasks: folding, assembly, packing, pouring, and manipulating unfamiliar objects.

Rapid Generalization with Few Demonstrations

Learns new tasks with just 50–100 user demonstrations, no massive datasets or retraining needed.

Natural Language & Voice Understanding

Follow open-ended commands, link instructions to physical actions, and adapt to new language, a leap for human-robot teaming.

Broad Robot Compatibility

Initially trained on the ALOHA dataset, Gemini Robotics On-Device is already operating on Franka FR3 and Apollo humanoid robots, flexibly adapting its “robot brain” to new bodies.

Fast Perception-to-Action Cycle

Achieves real-world responsiveness in as little as 250 milliseconds, enabling smooth autonomous operation even without cloud backup.

Use Cases of Gemini Robotics On-Device

Assemble electronics, consumer goods, or automotive components 24/7, independent of connectivity limits.

Run safety-critical hospital, warehouse, or hospitality robots that must follow instructions privately and locally.

Complex folding, pouring, zipping/unzipping, packing, and more, even with totally new objects or settings.

Fine-tune and trial new robot skills in simulators or on hardware, thanks to the Gemini Robotics SDK, with next-generation adaptability.

Power robots in connectivity-poor environments, including remote inspections, delivery, and agriculture.
