Everyone asks if Atlas can bring them a drink, but this robot can bring you the whole fridge. Using AI-driven behaviors, Atlas is doing hard work and coordinating its whole body to manage heavy objects, balancing complex contact points with accuracy and reliability.
We teamed up with @BostonDynamics to power their robot Spot with Gemini Robotics embodied reasoning models.
This means it can better understand its surroundings, identify objects and follow simple commands - like tidying up a room.
Data powers digital transformation! ST Engineering MRAS is leveraging Spot to get a full view of critical equipment and facility. Working autonomously, Spot collects information about machine health and, with the integration of the Leica BLK ARC for reality capture, detailed and accurate point cloud data for their digital twin.

Some of the fam came back from Universal Studios after seeing the world’s greatest stunt show a second time and demanded to watch Waterworld. Every time I revisit it, I’m more blown away by what they pulled off in camera. Costner is a real one. Went all the fuck in
