Dyna Robotics
US startup building embodied AI foundation models for dual-arm commercial robots, achieving 99%+ success in 24/7 deployments in restaurants and laundromats.
Dyna Robotics is a Redwood City, California-based robotics company founded in 2024 by Lindon Gao, York Yang (formerly of Caper AI), and Jason Ma (formerly of DeepMind). The company develops embodied AI foundation models powering affordable, general-purpose robotic arms intended for brick-and-mortar commercial environments. Its first product, the DYNA-1 system, consists of dual stationary robotic arms capable of performing repetitive manipulation tasks such as folding napkins, filling cups, chopping vegetables, and cleaning fixtures.
DYNA-1 has demonstrated 99.4% task success rates in 24-hour continuous operation across customer deployments in restaurants, laundromats, and similar settings. The underlying foundation model is designed to generalize across varied environments and self-improve with additional deployment data. Dyna raised a $23.5 million seed round in March 2025, followed by a $120 million Series A in September 2025 led by Robostrategy, CRV, and First Round Capital, with participation from NVIDIA NVentures, Amazon Industrial Innovation Fund, Salesforce Ventures, Samsung Next, and LG Technology Ventures.
The company's focus is on automation of stationary, repetitive tasks that can be completed with a pair of robot arms, targeting the large segment of brick-and-mortar businesses that cannot afford or deploy mobile humanoid systems.
