Google launches Guided Vision in Gemini Live on Android, an AI-powered accessibility feature that provides real-time audio descriptions of camera feed content. Designed for people with low vision or blindness, it helps users read text, identify objects, and get details about surroundings, with follow-up question capabilities. The feature is also available in Google TalkBack and as an accessibility shortcut on Android 9+.
Gap is a robotic system for Variational Automation tasks where robots adapt to changing object geometries and poses within fixed workcells. It decomposes natural-language task descriptions into computation graphs using skill agents, then refines them through simulation rehearsal before deployment on real robots, achieving high success rates on tasks like grocery packing and popcorn making.
