Summary
According to a post on X by @parada_car88104, ER 2, the high-level reasoning model in Gemini Robotics 2, is now available to Google Cloud customers. The post describes it as a model that lets robots think, call functions to act and adapt to changes around them. It also quotes Boston Dynamics' Marco da Silva saying the model adds value to Spot's AIVI-Learning inspections by letting AI models work on video instead of single snapshots. The snippet does not include pricing or detailed availability information.

What happened
ER 2 is the high-level reasoning model in Gemini Robotics 2 that lets robots think, call functions to act and adapt to changes around them, and it is now available to Google Cloud customers. Boston Dynamics' Marco da Silva says it adds value to Spot's AIVI-Learning inspections by letting AI models work on video...
Why it matters
Google Cloud customers gain access to a reasoning layer for robots that can call functions and adjust to changing conditions. Teams running Spot inspections could see AI models analyze video rather than single images, according to the quoted comments. Watch for pricing, availability details and real-world inspection results, which the source does not provide.
