In his latest tweet on X/Twitter Google CEO Sundar Pichai shared a demo of company;s latest AI robot sorting laundry based on live instruction which its parses in real-time with reasoning at every step. Pichai quips,
New Gemini Robotics 1.5 models will enable robots to better reason, plan ahead, use digital tools like Search, and transfer learning from one kind of robot to another.
He adds
Our next big step towards general-purpose robots that are truly helpful — you can see how the robot reasons as it sorts laundry in the video below.
Meanwhile the company blog states, “Gemini Robotics-ER 1.5 is the first thinking model optimized for embodied reasoning.”

In it’s blog Google remarked on how the Gemini Robotics 1.5 is aiding robots operate on mundane everyday tasks that “require contextual information and multiple steps to complete.” The company says, “to help robots complete these types of complex, multi-step tasks, we designed two models that work together in an agentic framework.” Gemini Robotics-ER 1.5 and Gemini Robotics 1.5.
The company blog states
Our embodied reasoning model, Gemini Robotics-ER 1.5, orchestrates a robot’s activities, like a high-level brain. This model excels at planning and making logical decisions within physical environments. It has state-of-the-art spatial understanding, interacts in natural language, estimates its success and progress, and can natively call tools like Google Search to look for information or use any third-party user-defined functions.
It further adds how the Gemini Robotics-ER 1.5 help Gemini Robotics 1.5
Gemini Robotics-ER 1.5 then gives Gemini Robotics 1.5 natural language instructions for each step, which uses its vision and language understanding to directly perform the specific actions.”
Reactions poured in on X/Twitter. One user remarked, “They are really really good. things are advancing in such a speed. They will take over us, right? you know that don’t you?” Another user wrote, “Forgot Google was in the robotics race!” A third user quipped, “First it folds socks. Next it folds entire industries.” Yet another user noted, “moondream has an open source version, released a week ago.” Another user jibed, “My 4 year old kid folds laundry better than that thing.”
