Dyna-2: General Purpose Physical Agents with Hour-Long Autonomy — Jason Ma, Dyna Robotics

Key points
  • Dyna-2.1 pairs new wheeled semi-humanoid hardware with an agentic system built around the Dyna-2 world-action model.
  • Dyna reports a 99.4% success rate folding restaurant napkins over 24 straight hours, per co-founder Jason Ma's AIE talk.
  • Robots reportedly fold thousands of napkins daily at Din Tai Fung, and can learn new tasks from as little as 45 minutes of demonstrations.
  • Dyna-2 was pre-trained on over one million hours of human video and predicts future video to guide robot actions.

Why it matters for marketers: Content teams covering robotics get concrete benchmarks for hour-long autonomy, though the figures are company-reported and not independently verified.
