Dyna Robotics introduced its Dyna-2.1 system and Taku robot, showing a company-described, uncut hour-long laundry workflow and outlining its architecture.
Dyna Robotics has introduced Dyna-2.1, a system for completing multi-step physical workflows, alongside Taku, a semi-humanoid robot built on a mobile base. In a technical post dated September 29, the company showed an uncut, hour-long laundry-room run and described it as an autonomous end-to-end workflow. The demonstration and performance claims are from Dyna; the company says taking the system to customer sites is its next milestone.
Taku has a human-shaped upper body, a folding lower body, four steerable wheels and two arms, each with seven degrees of freedom. Dyna describes the system as three connected control layers: a vision-language orchestrator chooses what to do next, the DYNA-2 policy generates movement targets, and a whole-body controller translates those targets into joint and wheel commands at 100 Hz. The orchestrator also keeps a text record of workflow progress, such as which machines are running and how many towels have been folded.
The design targets a challenge beyond a single manipulation task: completing a sequence that may need to change as the environment changes. In its example, Taku can move between folding, loading or unloading machines, and shelving towels. Dyna also describes recovery from disruptions in its demonstrations, including a person moving a washer dial and a robot gripping two towels at once.
The footage is a company demonstration, not evidence that Taku is already operating independently at customer sites. Dyna says it plans to bring Dyna-2.1 to real-world customer locations and use deployment data to improve the system. Those trials will be important for assessing reliability across shifts, different facilities and tasks beyond the laundry workflow shown at launch.
