Google DeepMind’s latest robotics AI doesn’t just see the world — it reasons about it. From reading industrial gauges to counting objects with sub-tick precision, ER 1.6 is the model that makes robots actually useful in factories. Most AI announcements focus on chatbots getting smarter. This one is about robots getting eyes — real, reasoning eyes that can look at a pressure gauge in a chemical plant and tell you the reading down to sub-tick accuracy. On April 14, 2026, Google DeepMind released Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6, a significant upgrade to the “embodied reasoning” model that serves as the br
