On March 25, 2026, Alphabet, Google's parent company, established a partnership with Germany's Agile Robots via DeepMind. This collaboration aims to incorporate multimodal AI models into Agile's industrial systems, thereby advancing automation in sectors such as electronics manufacturing and automotive production. The initiative merges DeepMind's Gemini Robotics model with Agile's hardware, in line with Alphabet's 'Physical AI' approach. Prior to this, Alphabet had already worked with firms like Boston Dynamics on humanoid systems.
