Gemma Playground: Robot Duck

Google Developers (Google I/O) · Jun 09, 2026 · Product Launches

Gemma 4 E2B runs fully on-device for multimodal inference on robot ducks via Raspberry Pi 5 and Jetson Orin Nano.

“And through multimodal inputs of Gemma 4, they're able to process and understand their environment like never before.”

A Google I/O demo showcased open-source robot ducks running Gemma 4 E2B on-device on Raspberry Pi 5 and Jetson Orin Nano, using multimodal inputs plus speech-to-text and text-to-speech for voice interaction. It demonstrates Gemma's viability for low-power edge inference, but the playful demo format limits its weight as a major industry signal.
