is adding another robotics partnership to its belt as it leans into robotics as a key bet for artificial intelligence.

Agile Robots develops intelligent, sensor-based robotic arms and humanoid robots. The company announced a partnership with Google DeepMind to integrate its Gemini Robotics foundation models with Agile Robots’ hardware.

“The partnership is built on a belief that applying AI in the physical world will be transformative,” the Tuesday blog post states. “By bringing together Agile Robots’ hardware and other AI robotic solutions developed in Germany, with Google DeepMind’s Gemini Robotics foundation models, the two teams will improve performance via robot deployment, data collection, model training and iteration.”

The new partnership means Google will get real-world deployment data as it sees robotics as one of the large use cases for AI, competing against companies like Amazon
