We just did World’s first on-stage autonomous demo of long-horizon dexterous VLA 🚨
No training. No setup. Performance out of the box. Live demo is hard and unpredictable, but we felt great about our model’s generalization, and it went pretty well!
💯 Zero-shot. 100% success.
🧠For the first time, a general-purpose foundation model is performing diverse daily tasks at commercial scale, across various environments. All in real life. We're seeing true generalization emerge as our robot enters a new environment, no extra data, it just works - out of box
🦾In year one, we:
• Shipped DYNA-1 (generalized robotics foundation model)
• Ran real-life pilots across laundry, restaurants, hotels, gyms in <90 days
• Observed 99%+ success in a 24-hour non-stop run
Excited to announce that we have raised $120M in our Series A to advance the frontier of general-purpose high-performance robots. 🤖
The new funding will accelerate progress towards our mission of bringing foundation-model powered robots to everyone, everywhere.
