- **Gemini Robotics ER 2 in public preview**: Released two new embodied
reasoning model endpoints for robotics:

- `gemini-robotics-er-2-preview`: Advanced spatial reasoning, agentic code execution, multi-step tool orchestration, video moment finding, progress classification, and multi-robot coordination.
- `gemini-robotics-er-2-streaming-preview`: Optimized for real-time text streaming using the Live API, enabling low-latency robot agents with bidirectional audio and video input.

Both model endpoints accept text, image, video, and audio inputs and support
function calling with blocking behavior for physical robot actions.
To get started, see the
[Gemini Robotics ER overview](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/robotics-overview). For
real-time streaming use cases, see
[Robotics with streaming](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/robotics-streaming).
- **Deprecation announcement** : The `gemini-robotics-er-1.6-preview` model
will be [shut down](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/deprecations) on August 31, 2026.
