Google demonstrated Gemini Robotics ER 2 orchestrating Boston Dynamics Spot navigation and manipulator APIs to fetch popcorn from a natural-language request. The demo illustrates high-level planning and progress monitoring, not a new commercial Spot integration.
Gemini Robotics On-Device 2 is Google’s local vision-language-action model for producing numerical robot actions from instructions, images and robot state. It is a trusted-tester model, not a generally available download or API.
Google’s physical AI strategy now spans a cloud-accessible reasoning model, a local action model and research collaborations across several robot forms. The pieces are complementary, but they are not one turnkey robot platform.
Gemini Robotics ER 2 has standard and streaming public-preview endpoints. Both have free tiers; paid usage was listed at $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens on August 6, 2026, with important differences in tools, data use and deployment design.
Gemini Robotics ER 2 is Google’s new high-level vision-language model for planning, tool use and progress monitoring in robot workflows. It is a public-preview orchestration layer, not a motor-control model or a finished robot product.
A fact-checked comparison of Unitree R1, G1 and H2, Tesla Optimus, and Boston Dynamics Atlas by public price, procurement access, published specifications and deployment evidence.
Atlas has no public list price, and its announced 2026 deployments were fully committed. Review the current specs, sales path and Hyundai and Google DeepMind plans.
Tesla has not announced an Optimus retail price, public order date or customer delivery schedule. Here is what its 2026 production updates do—and do not—confirm.
