Robots Get a Grip, Finally
Google’s latest AI model, Gemini Robotics 2, promises dextrous robots with improved balance and teamwork. The hype machine whirs again.
Another week, another AI breakthrough. We are told these new robots will seamlessly integrate into human environments, performing delicate tasks and collaborating effectively. This is a fantasy. The integration of advanced robotics into workplaces will be clumsy, disruptive, and far slower than optimists predict. We are decades from a truly useful humanoid robot in any real-world setting. Do you genuinely believe a robot can fold a fitted sheet?
Gemini Robotics 2 signals a genuine leap forward. The ability to handle delicate objects and work collaboratively accelerates the timeline for robot integration, promising significant efficiency gains sooner than expected.
