About Dyna Robotics
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.
