Dyna-2.1 with Taku robot

Dyna's first mobile system: a new semi-humanoid robot, Taku, with a human-shaped upper body, a folding lower body and a four-wheel steerable base, run by the Dyna-2 model plus a whole-body controller and a workflow planner. It is meant to handle whole jobs such as commercial laundry; Dyna says customer-site deployment is the next milestone.

  • Two 7-degree-of-freedom arms
  • 21-DoF upper body plus mobile base
  • Four steerable wheels

Dyna-2

Dyna's flagship world-action model, built on a video-diffusion backbone and pre-trained on more than one million hours of first-person human video. It predicts future video and robot actions together. Dyna reports an 87% production pass rate at new customer sites versus 46% for Dyna-1, and it now runs its deployed napkin-folding robots.

Dyna-1 pre-trained base model

A pre-trained version of Dyna's first robot model that can fold laundry and sort packages with no task-specific training, including in places it has not seen. Dyna says it can be tuned to high reliability on a new task with about one hour of demonstration data.

Dyna-1i

An improved Dyna-1 model that folds laundry in environments it was never trained in, after only tens of hours of extra training data collected in Dyna's office. It was shown running live at the Actuate conference and for three days at the CoRL robotics conference in South Korea, folding about 40 shirts an hour.
