AIVI-Learning Is Now Powered by Google Gemini Robotics
Boston Dynamics integrates Google Gemini into Orbit AIVI-Learning, giving Spot robots advanced reasoning and complex visual analysis for industrial inspections including gauge readings, 5S audits, and pallet counting.
AIVI-Learning Is Now Powered by Google Gemini Robotics
Boston Dynamics announces a partnership with Google Cloud and Google DeepMind to integrate Gemini and Gemini Robotics ER 1.6 into Orbit AIVI-Learning. This integration delivers a more sophisticated, intuitive, and powerful AI experience, enabling Spot and Orbit to continuously learn about facilities with unprecedented depth, allowing for higher-order reasoning and more complex visual analysis.
Industrial environments are incredibly complex, and the assets managed require more than just basic object recognition. Gemini was integrated into AIVI-Learning because modern facilities require industrial AI that can better reason and adapt for specific sites.
Delivering Total Site Intelligence
AIVI-Learning delivers insights across multiple stakeholders to give a holistic view of what is happening on-site. This allows accumulating value across multiple areas of operations:
- Safety & Security: Execute EHS checks such as looking for dangerous debris or spills, reducing fines, risk, and potential liability.
- Asset Monitoring: Perform inspections of key assets like conveyor belt damage, sight glass levels, and gauges to prevent critical failures. Monitoring prevents downtime.
- Materials & 5S: Identify material movement throughout a facility, automating manual inspections previously conducted by multiple people across many shifts.
New Asset Support: Gauges, Pallets, and More
As facility needs evolve, Orbit AI evolves with them. Because Gemini understands complex concepts right out of the gate, new advanced capabilities can be instantly rolled out. AIVI-Learning now supports:
- Gauge readings (analog and digital displays)
- 5S compliance audits
- Sight glass fullness measurement from 0-100%
- Accurate pallet counting
- Detecting puddles of standing liquid
Performance Gains and Zero-Downtime Upgrades
Customers can expect improved performance across all visual inspections. By tapping into Gemini's advanced intelligence, AIVI-Learning delivers better baseline performance and higher accuracy on critical tasks, including 5S checks, lever detection, object presence, and sight glass readings. For key inspections like digital display readings, accuracy is significantly improved.
Furthermore, the system gets smarter behind the scenes with Zero-Downtime Upgrades. AI models are continuously updated and refined in the cloud, meaning inspection accuracy improves automatically without requiring manual Orbit software updates or scheduling downtime.
Transparent Reasoning
AIVI prompts now feature transparent reasoning, allowing users to see exactly how the model interprets a prompt and the logical steps it took to reach its final answer. This transparency builds trust in AI-driven inspection decisions and helps operators understand and verify the system's conclusions.
Core Intelligent Tool for All Customers
AIVI-Learning is designed to be the ultimate visual inspection tool for facilities. Whether an Orbit deployment utilizes a Site Hub, Virtual Machine (VM), or Cloud hosting, customers can access powerful AIVI-Learning models. By utilizing AIVI-Learning, facilities unlock access to specialized expert models that continually evolve — trained on industrial data sets by world-class researchers.
This means a robot fleet can effortlessly handle advanced tasks like 5S compliance audits, accurate pallet counting, measuring sight glass fullness, and reading analog gauges. AIVI-Learning is necessary for specialized industrial inspections requiring complex logic, state analysis, and deeper asset classification.
Data Privacy and Sharing
Data sharing is required for AIVI-Learning, as it is an expert suite of AI models designed to continuously learn and adapt to specific facilities. Data is only shared with Boston Dynamics, ensuring privacy and security while enabling the models to contextually understand specialized, complex use cases unique to each site.
Looking Ahead
The next launch will use AI on Site View, meaning Orbit will alert operators of puddles, unauthorized people, and a growing number of supported assets. Turning on AIVI-Learning now positions facilities to benefit from these upcoming capabilities.
