Google DeepMind’s AI Robots Can Tie Shoelaces and Dunk a Basketball

First, they learn to walk, then they learn to think, and now they’re dunking? We’re one update away from a robot NBA.

The future of AI-powered robotics just got a massive upgrade. Google DeepMind has launched Gemini Robotics and Gemini Robotics-ER, two advanced AI models that can perform complex human tasks without any prior training.

These humanoid assistants don’t need step-by-step programming or instructions. Instead, they observe, reason, and act on their own, using advanced spatial understanding. That means they can do things like:

🥪 Pack a lunch
👟 Tie shoelaces
🧹 Tidy up a room
📄 Fold origami
🏀 Slam dunk a basketball

Let that sink in. Robots are now figuring out how to complete physical tasks just by thinking through them, much like a human would.

From Fiction to Reality AI Powered Robots Are Here

For decades, we’ve watched movies featuring robots that walk, talk, and even problem-solve. But the big issue has always been training. In the past, robots needed to be programmed with every little detail before they could perform a task.

Now? That’s no longer necessary.

With Gemini Robotics, Google DeepMind has created a system where robots can learn and adapt to new environments instantly. They don’t need human operators telling them what to do every step of the way. Instead, they can:

• Analyze a situation

• Understand objects around them

• Figure out solutions on the spot

A video demonstration of this technology showed these robots handling everyday tasks effortlessly. Some examples include:

• A robot successfully folding an origami crane—a skill that takes human hands years to perfect

• A robot seeing a basketball and immediately understanding the concept of a slam dunk, even though it had never encountered one before

AI With a Built In Moral Compass

While these advancements sound exciting, one big question always comes up: How do we make sure AI stays safe and ethical?

To address this, Google DeepMind has built the ASIMOV model—a data-driven framework inspired by Isaac Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics. This system is designed to steer AI behavior in a way that prioritizes human safety and ethical decision-making.

Dr. Carolina Parada, head of Google DeepMind’s robotics division, explained that these AI models allow robots to understand human values and act responsibly in real-world situations.

That means no rogue robots, no sci-fi horror scenarios, just technology built to help, not harm.

When Will These AI Robots Be Available

For now, these new AI-powered machines are only accessible to trusted testers like Boston Dynamics and Agile Robots. But as Google DeepMind continues refining its models, commercial applications could roll out sooner than we think.

The big question is: Where will these robots be used first? Will they enter healthcare, manufacturing, home assistance—or maybe even industries like real estate?

One thing’s for sure. The age of AI-powered robotics has arrived. And businesses that start preparing for AI integration now will have a major advantage.

AI Tools That Are Already Transforming Real Estate

While humanoid robots aren’t mainstream just yet, AI is already transforming industries including real estate. Here are three game-changing AI tools that are helping agents work smarter, not harder:
