For more than nine years, the team behind Dana says it has been building simulators, data engines, data pipelines, scenario editors, RL environments, and other components that now come together under a single agentic layer.
The pitch is that this is not just a harness, but a broader system for safely designing, developing, and deploying Physical AI. The company also says it has been using the system internally for some time, with measurable impact across its workflow.
