## AI overview

Google DeepMind introduces Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6, a reasoning-focused model for robots that improves spatial reasoning, multi-view understanding, task planning, success detection, and instrument reading. The model is available to developers through the Gemini API and Google AI Studio, with a developer Colab providing configuration and prompting examples.
