Success detection (Google DeepMind)

Embodied reasoning models judge from robot camera images or video whether a manipulation task succeeded. Later versions use raw video to catch mid-execution failures.

Google reports image-based and video-based splits, and earlier single-view and multi-view splits for Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6. Release month is the Gemini Robotics 1.5 era and is likely, not verified.

Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6 leads with 90%

Best score per model as labs report them in their own cards. Labs pick their own settings, so these compare less cleanly than independent runs.

  1. 1 Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6 90%

Google DeepMind’s own number for Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6 passed 85% in April 2026

All the scores we have, one dot each, so a model tested at several settings appears more than once.
