Gemini AI powers Aloha 2 robotic demo at Google I/O
At Google I/O, Gemini AI was showcased animating Aloha 2 robot arms as part of an interactive Sandbox demo.
At its recent I/O developer conference, Google demonstrated its Gemini AI controlling Aloha 2 robot arms in an interactive exhibit.
The robots were part of the company’s AI Sandbox and offered attendees the chance to interact with the system using voice instructions.
Each setup included a pair of Aloha 2 arms, along with cameras and microphones to process input. The Aloha 2 system, used for teleoperation and data collection, is considered relatively affordable in the robotics field, though a full tabletop setup still costs over $30,000.
The demonstration highlighted Google’s continued push to integrate generative AI into physical systems, combining machine learning with real-world applications.
