Dyna Robotics DYNA-1 Pre-Training

2025-11-20 · Publisher : Dyna Robotics · Domain : Robotics

Dyna Robotics announces a new DYNA-1 base model that folds laundry and sorts packages zero-shot in unseen environments, and reaches near 100% success after one hour of demonstrations.

### What changes On November 20, 2025, Dyna Robotics published a progress update on DYNA-1 pretraining. After a first model focused on single-task reliability (napkin folding), the company shows its new base model gains general capabilities before any fine-tuning. ### Specifications - **Zero-shot**: the base model performs diverse dexterous tasks, such as laundry folding or package sorting, without post-training, including in never-seen environments. - **Origin**: per Dyna, these behaviors come entirely from pretraining, with no task- or environment-specific data. - **Efficient fine-tuning**: on challenging new tasks, about 100% success with only one hour of demonstrations (results published by the company). - **Stress tests**: cup stacking, celery chopping, breakfast making, tablemat preparation. ### Why it matters A base capable zero-shot plus very short fine-tuning is the precondition for profitable commercial deployment: each new customer should not require weeks of data collection. ### Key takeaway Dyna Robotics moves from single-task reliability to generality; Dyna-2 pushed scale to one million hours of video in August 2026.
