gemini-robotics

gemini-robotics is a skill for Claude Code from robium-ai/robium. It costs 39 tokens per session (1,127 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for building robot agents with Gemini Robotics models. It covers receiving text, images, or audio, planning actions, and sending validated tool calls to robot software.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build low-latency robot interactions, process sensor or video input, call robot capabilities, and run observe-act-observe loops.
Why use it?
It keeps the model on the perception and planning side of the boundary, while deterministic software checks and executes physical actions. This separates uncertain model output from actuator control.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

gemini-robotics scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Gemini Robotics

Keep Gemini on the perception and planning side of an actuator boundary. The model may choose a capability; deterministic robot software validates and executes it.

Choose the endpoint from the interaction

  • For a new robot assistant or first simulation demo, read architect before building a model/robot integration. It discovers the saved apps checkout and checks compatible examples. If a baseline was already selected, continue here; existing integration fixes and API explanations do not need onboarding.
  • Use gemini-robotics-er-2-streaming-preview for a stateful Live API session that receives text, JPEG frames, or audio and orchestrates robot tools with low latency.
  • Use gemini-robotics-er-2-preview for discrete embodied-reasoning requests such as spatial analysis or offline video work. The standard endpoint does not provide the Live API.
  • Treat both model IDs and feature support as preview surfaces. Re-check the current model overview before changing dependencies or deployment assumptions.

Make the stream an observe-act-observe loop

  • Keep one client.aio.live.connect session open for the task and run a receive loop that handles both model content and tool calls.
  • Serialize user turns and model-facing heartbeats around unresolved turns and blocking tools. A text heartbeat is a new reasoning input, not a transport keepalive, and can interrupt an action as barge-in.
  • Declare physical actions with behavior: BLOCKING. Execute each call through the robot adapter, then manually return a FunctionResponse with the call ID, name, and structured result using send_tool_response.
  • Stream raw 16-bit, 16 kHz, little-endian PCM for speech input and explicitly end finite audio with audio_stream_end=True. Send JPEG camera frames at no more than the endpoint's current one-frame-per-second limit.
  • A camera frame alone updates context but does not trigger reasoning. Pair it with user audio/text, or use an intentional heartbeat prompt. Heartbeats are turns and can interrupt generation.
  • When a tool exists specifically to observe the world, attach its fresh image to that call's FunctionResponse when the SDK supports inline media. This binds the evidence to the requesting call more deterministically than placing an unrelated realtime frame immediately before the response.
  • The streaming endpoint returns text, not synthesized audio. Route speech through an independently replaceable TTS adapter or expose speaking as a bounded tool.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

gemini-robotics is a skill published in the GitHub repository robium-ai/robium (99 stars, last pushed 16d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 1,127 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-18.
