We’re making great progress with our Gemini Robotics work in bringing AI to the physical world - a critical aspect of AGI. As part of our next steps, super excited to announce our partnership with @BostonDynamics, combining our SOTA robotics models with their world-class hardware
📣MuJoCo announcement 📣
Thrilled to share that @GoogleDeepMind has unveiled MuJoCo-Warp at @nvidia's #GTC25!
🚀 We've expanded our open-source MuJoCo simulator with MuJoCo-Warp, leveraging NVIDIA’s Warp framework for incredible acceleration. This marks a significant step in making high-performance simulation more accessible.
We’ve always thought of robotics as a helpful testing ground for translating AI advances into the physical world. Today we’re taking our next step in this journey with our newest Gemini 2.0 robotics models. They show state of the art performance on two important benchmarks - generalization and embodied reasoning - which enable robots to draw from Gemini’s multimodal understanding of the world to make changes on the fly + adapt to their surroundings. This milestone lays the foundation for the next generation of robotics that can be helpful across a range of applications.
Massive achievement from our team! So proud!
One of the most exciting project if been working on!

In the NYT today, Cade Metz implies that I left Google so that I could criticize Google. Actually, I left so that I could talk about the dangers of AI without considering how this impacts Google. Google has acted very responsibly.
Football players can tackle, get up, kick and chase a ball in one seamless motion. How could robots master these motor skills? ⚽
We trained AI agents to demonstrate these agile behaviours using end-to-end reinforcement learning.
