## Common questions

### What is Gemini Robotics 2?

Google DeepMind's second-generation VLA for robotics, released July 2026. First model to control a humanoid's legs, torso, arms, and hands under a single policy. Includes GR-ER 2.0 reasoning model with agentic 'think-before-acting' loop. Research partners include Apptronik and Boston Dynamics.

### Who developed Gemini Robotics 2?

Gemini Robotics 2 is credited to Google DeepMind on the DEPLOY registry. Each developer attribution is verified via primary sources.

### Is Gemini Robotics 2 open source?

No. Gemini Robotics 2 is recorded as proprietary on the DEPLOY registry. Model weights and source are not publicly available.

### What type of AI is Gemini Robotics 2?

Gemini Robotics 2 is a foundation model, built on a Gemini 2.0-based VLA with embodied reasoning, whole-body loco-manipulation, on-device variant architecture on the DEPLOY registry.

### What is Gemini Robotics 2's maturity stage?

Gemini Robotics 2 is at the pilot stage on the DEPLOY maturity ladder. Pilot stage means at least one named-customer trial deployment is verified.

### Which robots run on Gemini Robotics 2?

No robot models on the DEPLOY registry are recorded as running Gemini Robotics 2. DEPLOY wires brain-to-model connections only when the wiring is verifiable from primary sources; absence may reflect pre-deployment or unverified manufacturer claims.
