Google DeepMind Gemini Robotics 2: Foundation Models Move Toward Reliable Physical Agents

Gemini Robotics 2 is expanding through hardware-agnostic control, direct joint actions, TAMP-Nav, ForgeWM, LAWA, gameplay-trained world models, GWM Worlds 2, navigation, and Real2Sim infrastructure. Unitree's UnifoLM-WLA-1.0 adds an open 6B VLA signal, but evidence remains primarily demonstrational or benchmark-based, without independent deployment, safety, or sim-to-real validation.
