Published: April 2026 Model Information Model Data Implementation and Sustainability Evaluation Intended Usage and Limitations Ethics and Safety Model Information Description Gemini Robotics-ER (Embodied Reasoning) 1.6 is a Vision-Language-Model that enhances Gemini’s spatial and physical reasoning capabilities. It is based on Gemini 3.0 Flash. Inputs Text strings (e.g., a question, a prompt, document(s) to be summarized), images, audio, and video files, with a token context window of up to 128k. Outputs Text, with a 64K token output. Architecture Architecture: Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6 is based on the Gemini 3.0 model family. For more information about the model architecture, see the Gemini 3.0 Flash model card. Model Data Training Dataset Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6 was trained on Gemini 3.0 training datasets and additional datasets representing various embodied reasoning tasks. For more information about the training data, see the Gemini 3.0 Flash model card. Training Data Processing For more information about the training data processing, see the Gemini 3.0 Flash model card. Implementation and Sustainability Hardware Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6 was trained using Google’s Tensor Processing Units (TPUs). See details in the Gemini 3.0 Flash model card. The efficiencies gained through the use of TPUs are aligned with Google's commitment to operate sustainably. Software Software JAX (Bradbury et al., 2018), ML Pathways (Dean, 2021). Evaluation Approach See Figure1, Figure 2 in the release post for Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6 evaluation procedures and Figure 3 for Gemini Robotics Safety evaluation procedures. Results See Figure 1, Figure 2 in the release post for Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6 evaluation results, and Figure 3 for Gemini Robotics Safety evaluation results. Intended Usage and Limitations Benefit and Intended Usage Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6 represents an advancement to our reasoning-first Gemini Robotics-ER models that enables robots to understand their environments with precision. This model specializes in reasoning critical for robotics, including visual and spatial understanding, task planning and success detection. Known Limitations For more information about the known limitations for Gemini Robotics-ER1.6, see the Gemini 3.0 Flash model card. Acceptable Usage For information about the acceptable usage for Gemini Robotics-ER1.6 see the Gemini 3.0 Flash model card. Additionally, users are required to use discretion before using the Robotics Models in a production, commercial, or public environments, and to not use the Robotics Models for safety-critical applications or work, such as in the following settings: (i) healthcare, (ii) transportation, or (iii) other areas where safety protocols are vital, and a malfunction could reasonably foreseeably lead to death, personal injury, or property damage. Ethics and Safety Ethical Considerations & Risks Previous impact assessment and risk analysis work as discussed in (Gemini ER1.5 report) and references therein remain relevant to Gemini Robotics. See Section 6 for information on responsible development and safety mitigations. Evaluation Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6 demonstrates compliance with Gemini safety policies on adversarial spatial reasoning tasks, and shows a substantially improved capacity to adhere to physical safety constraints compared to previous generations. To ensure real-world readiness, we tested how well the model identifies safety hazards in human-centric scenarios.
