Dyna Robotics is an American robotics company developing AI-powered automation systems for brick-and-mortar businesses.
Dyna Robotics builds production-ready AI-powered robots for brick-and-mortar businesses, focusing on affordable stationary robotic arms. Founded in 2024 by former Caper AI founders Lindon Gao and York Yang alongside former DeepMind scientist Jason Ma, the company focuses on bringing practical, production-ready robotics to commercial environments through affordable, intelligent manipulation systems. Rather than pursuing humanoid robots, Dyna Robotics builds stationary robotic platforms powered by its DYNA-1 foundation model, enabling robots to learn and perform complex manipulation tasks with high reliability across retail, food service, manufacturing, and logistics. By combining foundation models with continuous autonomous operation, the company aims to make AI-driven physical automation accessible to a broad range of businesses.

Dyna-2: A New Step Toward General-Purpose Robot Learning
Dyna Robotics introduces Dyna-2, a world-action model pretrained on more than 1 million hours of human video and designed to transfer human learning patterns into robotic performance.
Draken TobioDyna Robotics was established in 2024 in Redwood City by Lindon Gao and York Yang (Caper AI co-founders, $350M acquisition in 2021) and Jason Ma from Google DeepMind.
DYNA-1 pushed reliability past 99% success rate during 24-hour nonstop operation. Within six months, robots were running 16 hours daily across hotels, restaurants, laundromats, and gyms.
The company emerged from stealth in March 2025 with a $23.5 million seed round co-led by CRV and First Round Capital. Dyna opted for stationary robotic arms over humanoid form factors.
In September 2025, a $120 million Series A led by Robostrategy valued Dyna at over $600 million, with participation from Salesforce Ventures, NVentures, Amazon, Samsung Next, and LG Technology Ventures.
