Gemini Robotics ER 1.6
Gemini Robotics ER 1.6 is the independently released embodied-reasoning update for interpreting physical spaces and planning robot tasks. It advances instrument reading and spatial and physical reasoning, with multimodal input and text output. Code execution, function calling, and structured responses let it coordinate external robot APIs. It was a public API preview, subsequently retired in August 2026.
