Google says its new robot brain is the most capable ever. Google is also the only one keeping score.
Every number in the launch is Google's own. No outside lab has checked the model before it goes near real-world robots.

THE MOVE: SELF-MARKED, graded by the party that benefits from the grade
THE CLAIM. Gemini Robotics ER 2 is Google DeepMind's most capable embodied reasoning model, with 91.3% timing accuracy and the highest accuracy across every core capability.
THE CHECK. read the fine print on 'highest accuracy'. Highest against what? Every benchmark cited traces back to Google's own evaluations, and the tech press repeats the same 91.3% without an independent run.
THE TWIST. the model may well be excellent. Nobody outside Google has confirmed it, and 'most capable' with a single scorer is a press release, not a result.
On July 30, 2026, Google DeepMind launched Gemini Robotics ER 2, calling it "our most capable embodied reasoning" model. The launch reporting carries the numbers as delivered: 91.3% accuracy on timing benchmarks, a 0.96s mean absolute distance execution speed, and the highest accuracy across core ca
