Robotics Company Unveils Next-gen AI for Robotic Arms

Dyna Robotics, a startup specializing in AI-driven robotics, is preparing to launch a new embodied AI model for robotic arms, which it describes as a “major breakthrough.”

The model, Dynamism v1 (DYNA-1), enables robotic arms to perform high-precision tasks autonomously over extended periods.

To evaluate its performance, DYNA-1 was tasked with continuously folding napkins for 24 hours using its active counterparts. It folded over 700 napkins with a 99% success rate, no human assistance, and achieved 60% of typical human throughput.

Dyna Highlights Key Milestone in Commercializing Foundation Model Robots

In its announcement, Dyna described the results as a “major milestone in making foundation model robots commercially viable.”

York Yang, co-founder of Dyna Robotics, said, “DYNA-1 delivers continuous, high-volume, dexterous automation in real-world settings without human input.” “It’s the first foundation model ready for real-world production use.”

“Most robotic models hit an 80% success ceiling on complex tasks and break down within hours, needing human resets. DYNA-1 surpasses expectations by maintaining high performance, adapting to challenges, and operating seamlessly without human intervention.

To tackle reliability challenges, Dyna created a reward system that monitors task progression and allows the robot to autonomously detect and correct errors.

Dyna Targets Real-World Applications in Hospitality, Manufacturing, and Warehousing

Yang said the company plans to deploy its solution in hospitality, manufacturing, and warehouse settings to optimize efficiency and reduce human workload.

“We’re perfecting tasks for fixed robotic arms, like folding napkins, pouring liquids, chopping vegetables, and cleaning restrooms,” he explained. “Our approach is to refine one task at a time as we move toward general-purpose embodied AI.”

He said, “We’re focusing on improving dexterity, speed, and adaptability. Mastering individual tasks helps accelerate learning, leading to faster skill acquisition and adaptation. This will drive more efficient learning as the system evolves and refines its processes.”

Dyna said it is running several pilot programs of DYNA-1 with partners and anticipates full-scale deployment by the end of the year.

Founded in late 2024 and emerging from stealth in March, Dyna Robotics aims to create affordable, deployable AI-powered robots for physical businesses.
