DeepMind Humanoid Robots Operate on Mercedes Assembly Lines
AI technology achieved a 96% success rate in organizing automotive parts in Germany and Hungary
Google's DeepMind division has deployed Apollo 2 humanoid robots at Mercedes-Benz factories. The pilot project took place at facilities in Sindelfingen, Germany, and Kecskemét, Hungary.
The system used the Gemini Robotics 2.5 model to perform automotive kit preparation tasks. The robots organized metal brackets into containers following the sequence required for vehicle assembly.
The company recorded a 96% success rate during the sorting and handling of parts. The workflow was divided between two models, with Gemini Robotics ER monitoring the process while Gemini Robotics 2.5 controlled the physical movements.
Apptronik CEO Jeff Cardenas stated that the models showed stable performance after a short training period. The technology allowed for the transfer of tasks to the production line with minimal drop in operational efficiency.
The report did not disclose the total duration of the tests or the frequency of required human intervention. The demonstration focused on a specific stage of supply delivery for automobile assembly.
