DynaRobotics trains whole-body RL controller for Taku as labs converge on RL+distill

- DynaRobotics says it uses large-scale GPU-parallelized RL in Isaac Sim to obtain a robust whole-body controller for its robot Taku, optimized for precise loco-manipulation — applying RL to low-level wheeled tracking and whole-body control skills.
- Chris Paxton notes the approach is converging with his team's: train multiple RL experts, then distill them into a generalizable action controller that adapts to new skills and assets.
