Gemini 4 Argon scores 87% on ERQA and controls robot arms

Reality check

DeepMind's robotics post shows Spot and robot-arm control in simulation with zero-shot transfer. It is background for robotics teams, not a deployable product.

What the research found

DeepMind's robotics post reports Gemini 4 Argon scores 87% on ERQA and shows Spot and robot-arm control via MuJoCo practice and zero-shot control, with Real2Sim and hindsight labeling uses. Background for robotics teams; overlaps #768.

Claims and how well the evidence supports them

  1. Argon scores 87% on the ERQA embodied reasoning benchmark 98%
  2. Argon controls a Boston Dynamics Spot quadruped using MuJoCo digital twin practice 98%
  3. Argon creates calibrated simulation twins from robot camera feeds, egocentric video or sketches 95%

Evidence

Actionability rated medium.
