Google DeepMind’s AI Joins Boston Dynamics Robots

Google DeepMind Partners with Boston Dynamics for Gemini Robots

Google DeepMind, the company’s AI research lab, is joining forces with Boston Dynamics to bring Gemini-powered humanoid robots to Hyundai’s factories.

The partnership, announced at CES 2026, will allow Boston Dynamics’ humanoid robots to move around unfamiliar areas and handle objects, helping with manual labor tasks. This means robots can assist workers in factories more efficiently and safely.

Google’s Gemini Robotics AI will power humanoid robots like Atlas, which can walk, lift, and manipulate objects, and the robot dog Spot, which can navigate complex spaces. The AI helps these robots understand their surroundings and perform tasks that usually require human intelligence and dexterity.

The collaboration highlights how AI and robotics are coming together to improve factory work, reduce repetitive tasks, and increase productivity. It also shows how tech companies are exploring ways to make robots smarter and more adaptable in real-world environments.
