The start-up's technical report describes a wheeled robot completing about 79 steps without intervention; it says customer-site deployment is the next milestone.

Dyna Robotics has published a technical report on Dyna-2.1 and a new robot, Taku. The company describes Taku as a semi-humanoid with a human-shaped upper body, two 7-degree-of-freedom arms, 21 degrees of freedom in the upper body, four steerable wheels and a folding lower body.

Dyna says Taku ran an uncut, one-hour laundry-room workflow autonomously, covering roughly 79 sequential steps including moving items between machines, folding and stacking.

The company also claims that, in stationary folding operations, a new site can reach its production bar in as little as three days. It says its next milestone is to take Taku to real customer sites. These are company claims; we have not seen independent testing.
