Knowledge Oct 07, 2025 Trend Report: Dyna Robotics Creates Next Generation AI Robotics

The evolution of generative AI is not limited to text and video but is expanding into physical spaces. Currently, "Embodied AI" is attracting attention, which actually performs work in physical space. If you live in the United States, you may have seen the introduction of robots in the fields of food and beverage, logistics, and retail with examples such as barista robots and massage robots.

Dyna Robotics is a startup that aims to provide robots that operate in the real world at a low cost and high durability. DYNA-1 is a robot that can operate continuously 24 hours a day in a commercial environment, and its strengths are used for repetitive tasks that require skillfully using two arms, folding table napkins into the same shape, finding and removing clothes of the same color from the laundry basket, and collecting the same type of items from the mail.

Although it is a very young startup founded in 2024, its growth is tremendous, and it has already been tested in some restaurants and warehouses in the United States, reducing the burden on employees and saving labor costs. In terms of funding, they have raised $23.5M in May 2025 and are looking forward to expanding not only into the United States but also into Europe and Asia. They are focusing on the type of "robots that actually work in the field instead of humans" to become more accessible.

Dyna Robotics provides robots working in the field at a high quality, and they are one of the few companies that can be said to be a symbol of AI that can be used in the actual physical field. Given the successful funding and high profile in the United States, it may be introduced in Japan's industry in the future.
