Redwood City-based Dyna Robotics unveiled Taku, a semi-humanoid 'full-stack physical agent' that independently completes full workflows — loading washers, folding towels, chopping vegetables, stocking shelves — targeting hotels, restaurants and warehouses. The New York Post dubbed it 'the world's most boring robot,' which the founder called the highest praise: useful robots should be boring and reliable, not flashy.
