Boston Dynamics and Google Bring Gemini AI to Spot Robot for Smarter Facility Inspections
Boston Dynamics has integrated Google's Gemini Robotics AI into its Spot robot, enabling automated industrial gauge reading and visual facility inspections. The integration allows facilities to collect valuable visual information and receive alerts about conditions on their site.
Boston Dynamics has partnered with Google Cloud and DeepMind to integrate Gemini and Gemini ER 1.6 into its Orbit AIVI-Learning. This enables Spot, Boston Dynamics' four-legged mobile robot, to complete tasks based on images collected. Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6 allows robots to understand their environments through visual and spatial understanding, task planning, and success detection. It can read complex gauges and sight glasses using agentic vision, which combines visual reasoning with code execution. The integration expands possibilities for industrial inspection, allowing facilities to collect valuable visual information and receive alerts about site conditions. Spot can visit instruments throughout a facility, capture images, and execute tasks by calling tools like Google Search.
