Robots are becoming a bigger part of the workforce, especially in manufacturing. Smaller, smarter, and more flexible “cobots” — collaborative robots — are helping bring automation to more U.S. factories, driving the reshoring trend and boosting productivity.

How can a single AI model simultaneously drive a humanoid robot, a dual-arm collaborative arm, and an industrial manipulator? One of the greatest challenges in robotics is generalization. Traditionally, each robot form factor and task required extensive fine-tuning and specialized training. But Gemini Robotics 1.5 is breaking this barrier. We've seen that the same base model can now power three distinct robotic platforms, whether performing complex everyday tasks like laundry sorting or high-precision operations like fruit sorting: Apollo Bi-arm Franka ALOHA This means we no longer need to retrain for every new hardware or subtle task change. This "three machines in one, one model" strategy greatly simplifies deployment and accelerates the introduction of physical agents into the real world. This is not only a technological victory but also a significant promise for the future of large-scale robotics. With a unified intelligent core, the cost and time of deploying robots will be significantly reduced, enabling them to solve complex real-world problems more quickly. What does this model generalization capability mean for automation deployment in your industry? How much development and integration time do you think it can save?

⏱️ Every second counts on the line. Picture this: a high-volume assembly line where a robot pauses mid-cycle, slowly scanning for a part. Every second of delay ripples through production. You’ve invested millions in automation, but you still lose time to searching, aligning, and hoping the robot gets it right. What if your robots could skip the guesswork and think for themselves? That’s exactly what we’re building at Inbolt. Our AI-powered 3D vision system mounts directly on the robot’s gripper, instantly locating and orienting parts with human-like understanding. No scanning, no waiting. When Stellantis deployed this at their Detroit Assembly Complex, they saw: ⚡ 30% faster cycle times 🎯 10x better repeatability 💸 ROI in months It’s not just automation anymore. It’s intelligent automation. ❓ If your robots could think, what process would you transform first? #SmartManufacturing #Robotics #IntelligentAutomation #3DVision #ArtificialIntelligence #Industry40 #Inbolt #AI
