About

About Dyna Robotics

DYNA develops the DYNA-1 manipulation system together with foundation models trained on real production work. The robot learns task policies from demonstrations and operating data, then uses vision and closed-loop control to correct its motion as objects, presentation and process conditions change. Fleet learning allows improvements from one installation to be incorporated into later deployments rather than programming every motion independently.

The company targets continuous, multi-step work in factories, commercial laundries, food service and other labour-intensive environments. Published demonstrations include kitting, assembly, inspection, packaging and garment handling, and DYNA reports shirt-folding throughput above 40 items per hour. DYNA supplies the robot, models and deployment support as one operating system and is building towards 24-hour production use rather than selling a general-purpose arm for customers to program alone.

Research

  • Dyna Robotics details the million-hour infrastructure behind Dyna-2

    2026-08-17 - Research Publication - A new episode format with topic-group chunking reduced storage by about 68% and made sample reads approximately 2.9 times faster. An Airflow-based ingestion architecture increased throughput from 14,000 to 440,000 episode-hours per week, cutting million-hour processing from roughly 16 months to under three weeks. Warehouse-backed curation and memory-mapped tables reduced time to first training batch from about 48 hours to under one minute across a 43-million-episode dataset.

Timeline

Events

  • 2026-09-29 - Product Launch - Dyna Robotics unveils Taku semi-humanoid with Dyna-2.1

    Taku combines two seven-DoF arms, a folding body and a stable base with four independently steerable wheels. In the uncut demonstration, the robot moved between stations, operated washer and dryer controls, moved baskets, folded and stacked towels, and shelved finished stacks. Dyna-2.1 combines a 100 Hz reinforcement-learning whole-body controller, the DYNA-2 world-action model and a vision-language workflow orchestrator; customer-site operation is the next stated milestone.

  • 2026-08-27 - Deployment - Din Tai Fung begins network rollout of Dyna robots

    Dyna-2 folds 95 napkins per hour, with 93% clearing the restaurant's quality threshold and 1,590 table-ready napkins produced per 18-hour day. The customer target is 1,500 table-ready napkins per robot per 18-hour shift; Dyna-1 previously produced about 480 at 35 folds per hour and 75% quality. Rollouts across restaurants, hotels, logistics sites and data centres are expected to take Dyna's total deployed fleet into the hundreds by the first half of 2027.
