Physical AI: Gemini Robotics, SKY-001 engineering model and Vangrid's spatial data capture

SKY-001's team claims its engineering model beats the frontier models it tested on CAD and BIM tasks, running 51–125 times faster and 150–210 times cheaper. A separate post cites DeepMind saying its Gemini Robotics On-Device model adapts to new robot bodies with fewer than 200 examples and a few hours of training. Another post describes Vangrid's phone-based captures of requested locations, with on-device blurring and footage fingerprints anchored on Base.
