Google DeepMind's Gemini Robotics 2.5 helped Apptronik's Apollo 2 humanoid pick and pack automotive parts with a 96 per cent success rate in a proof-of-concept trial on Mercedes-Benz production lines, the company reported. The robots worked in Germany and Hungary, sorting parts for human assembly.

DeepMind released footage on Tuesday showing tasks including tying ribbons, serving food with tongs and sweeping. It said the model demonstrated more than 200 tasks. Engineers said they continue to maintain safe distances from people until they have stronger safety assurances; the production-line work was a trial.
