Dyna Robotics has announced the release of DYNA-1, a commercial-ready robot foundation model designed for fully autonomous operation in real-world settings. According to the company, DYNA-1 is the first robot foundation model to demonstrate commercial viability for high-dexterity tasks, operating continuously for over 24 hours without human supervision.
Developed as part of Dyna Robotics’ Dynamism v1 platform, DYNA-1 uses a pair of stationary robotic arms to execute complex manipulation tasks, such as folding napkins. The company reports a 99.4% task success rate at 60% of human-level throughput, and states that the system remained operational without intervention throughout a 24-hour test period. To improve task resilience and reduce operational errors, DYNA-1 incorporates a proprietary engineered reward model that enables the system to generate feedback, recover from errors, and adapt to novel situations. The company says this approach addresses limitations seen in earlier machine learning systems, which often failed when encountering edge cases or unfamiliar environments.
Dyna Robotics claims DYNA-1 is capable of transferring its learned skills to other tasks such as laundry folding and food packaging. The system’s reported ability to generalize across different environments and tasks is being positioned as a differentiator from existing robotics models, which typically require environment-specific training. DYNA-1 is already being used in commercial settings, according to Dyna Robotics.
