🪴 Building an autonomous plant rover with Gemini Live
Google built an autonomous plant rover using Gemini Live, Flash, and Nano in two weeks.
“That's what's amazing about Gemini is the velocity you can get with your project. From start to finish, it was about two weeks.”
A Google I/O demo showcased 'Sprout,' an autonomous plant rover built in two weeks using a TurtleBot 4, Pixel 11, and multiple Gemini models for vision, voice, and design. The project illustrates Gemini's multi-modal breadth — Flash for vision, Live for conversational voice, and Nano for generative design sketches. While a novelty demo, it signals Google's push to highlight developer velocity and agentic, embodied AI use cases at its flagship conference.
