Dyna Robotics unboxed its home robot Taku live at CoRL and put it to work on the spot. Powered by Dyna-2.1, the robot performed long-horizon, whole-body mobile manipulation zero-shot — no on-site data collection or post-training required.
Rewkang, whose post amplifies the demo, argues a robot that does boring housework is worth far more than a dancing, backflipping one — matching Taku's household-labor positioning.
