Background & analysis

On November 10, 2026, Google DeepMind introduced Gemini Robotics 2.5, describing it as its most capable vision-language-action model for robots so far, with gains in dexterity, reliability and safety in real-world settings, and with robots learning more dexterous tasks faster and working in less predictable environments. According to TestingCatalog, the model was built with support from Gemini 4 Argon. Ars Technica reported that the new model is up to twice as successful at some tasks, and that DeepMind published an open-source safety benchmark called ASIMOV-jailbreak alongside it. According to The Daily Flare, DeepMind benchmarked the system on more than 200 tasks, including serving food with tongs, tying a bow on a gift box and pipetting liquid. DeepMind says success rates ran 30% to 100% above the previous baseline, with evaluations 20% to 30% faster, and that tasks it had previously been unable to complete, such as removing a hard drive and placing a lime on a raised shelf, reached 100% success. The Decoder reported that Google DeepMind tested the model with Apptronik on active Mercedes-Benz production lines in Hungary and Germany, where the humanoid robot Apollo 2 sorted metal parts with a reported success rate of 96%. TestingCatalog attributes that figure to a proof of concept with Apptronik and Mercedes-Benz in which Gemini Robotics 2.5 helped the Apollo 2 robot pick and organize car parts for assembly, and it remains the only source for the claim. No further details on the pilots, or on whether Mercedes-Benz will expand the deployment, have been disclosed.
