Artificial intelligence has the potential to facilitate solve some of the world’s biggest challenges – not only in the digital sphere, but also in the physical world. Robotics is one of the most stimulating fields of artificial intelligence, where advances in language, vision and action models can facilitate create knowledgeable machines that interact with the real world in safer, more helpful and more adaptive ways.
That’s why we’re launching Google DeepMind Accelerator: Robotics, a three-month program for early-stage robotics startups across Europe. This week, selected startup founders come together to launch the program, meet with the Google DeepMind and Google teams, and begin the journey to power the next generation of physical AI. They will have access to our AI stack, technical expertise and Gemini robotics models.
These startups, selected from a huge pool of candidates, will receive hands-on support from Google DeepMind and Google experts throughout the program. Through technical mentorship, product guidance and a broad network of partners, the accelerator will facilitate founders transform cutting-edge artificial intelligence research into real-world robotics applications. The cohort joining us in London this week reflects the breadth of opportunities that embodied AI offers – from logistics and manufacturing to healthcare, climate and advanced navigation.
