VLA models

Gemini Robotics 1.5 (+ Gemini Robotics-ER 1.5)

United States

Google DeepMind's agentic robotics stack: ER 1.5 plans, reasons spatially and calls tools (available via the Gemini API; ER 1.6 followed in 2026), while the Gemini Robotics 1.5 VLA executes and transfers motions across embodiments. Model weights remain closed, with the VLA limited to selected partners.
