Agile humanoid robots with Google brain to undergo industrial testing

Agile Robots SE has announced a collaboration with Google DeepMind to integrate DeepMind’s Gemini Robotics foundation AI models with Agile Robots’ industrial robotics hardware. This partnership aims to enhance robot performance and expand automation capabilities in industrial environments by combining advanced AI with scalable robotic platforms. Agile Robots, founded in 2018 and based in Germany, has developed the Agile ONE humanoid robot designed for safe and efficient operation alongside humans in production settings. The company has already deployed over 20,000 robotic solutions globally and views this collaboration as a step toward autonomous, intelligent production systems that can transform industries. The collaboration will proceed through multiple development and deployment phases, emphasizing iterative testing, learning, and system improvement in real-world industrial applications, particularly in sectors demanding adaptable and reliable automation. The partnership envisions creating an “AI flywheel” where operational data from deployed robots continuously refines AI models, thereby enhancing robot capabilities and enabling wider deployment. Google DeepMind is concurrently expanding its robotics collaborations, including projects with Boston Dynamics and
