About Dream Labs

Dream Labs develops general-purpose robot models and cloud services for developers and hardware makers. Its Dream-1 world-action model learns from video and translates camera observations, robot state and natural-language instructions into actions. The company offers API access, demonstration-based fine-tuning and a browser playground connected to real robots, allowing users to test the model before integrating their own hardware.

Offered as a research beta, the initial service concentrates on tabletop manipulation, including picking, placing and laundry folding. Dream Labs describes zero-shot control of parallel-gripper robots, alongside additional adaptation for partner hardware; wheeled robots and dexterous hands remain planned extensions. Founded in San Francisco in 2026 by former NVIDIA GR00T research leads, the company announced a $90 million seed financing at launch. It plans to use the capital primarily for compute while expanding supported tasks, robot embodiments and service capacity.

  • 2026-10-19 - Product Launch - Dream Labs launches Dream API for robot foundation-model access

    The service converts camera inputs, robot state and language instructions into robot actions. Initial work focuses on tabletop gripper manipulation; wheeled robots and dexterous hands are planned extensions. The company reports more than twenty hardware partners and distinguishes baseline zero-shot control from additional partner-specific adaptation.
