Dyna's new robot does an hour of laundry, uncut
Dyna Robotics says its new semi-humanoid Taku ran an entire hour-long laundry room workflow in one uncut take. Meanwhile a new public benchmark put four robot models through 14,400 real-world rollouts.

Dyna Robotics posts an uncut hour of laundry on new Dyna-2.1
Dyna Robotics released Dyna-2.1, which it calls the first Physical Agent with reliable super long-horizon whole-body autonomy, and posted uncut footage of it doing a full hour-long laundry room workflow.
I hope this becomes an inflection point for the whole industry, as we shift away from demos and towards building a product that can truly increase physical productivity in the world.
Reality Check launches a public robot benchmark with 14,400 real rollouts
Nicolas Keller launched Reality Check, a leaderboard and what he calls the first public robot manipulation benchmark, built from 14,400 real-world rollouts across four models. It spans multiple tasks and data regimes, varied object placements and confidence intervals, run on FR3 Duo stations. Jiafei Duan says MolmoAct2 came out as the state of the art on it.
The Era of Evals is coming to AI robotics.
Chestnut pairs an 18-DOF hand with a matching wearable capture rig
Chestnut announced the Aero Hand, an 18-DOF human-sized dexterous hand using a tendon and linkage hybrid, tested past 3 million cycles, plus Aero UMI, a wearable exoskeleton whose kinematics match the hand exactly.
Collecting good data is extremely important for robotics right now, and i think UMI seems most promising
