Dyna-2.1: a semi-humanoid robot does uncut hotel laundry on camera

DYNA · 2 weeks ago · 5 ● 2 sources

Dyna-2.1 describes Taku, a semi-humanoid robot built to run an end-to-end workflow with minimal human intervention, demonstrated by doing uncut hotel laundry on camera. The approach relies on pre-training its improved DYNA-2 action policy on 1 million hours of human video. This results in faster acquisition of new skills and more reliable workflow execution through a full-stack design (robot hardware, unified action representation, reinforcement-learned control, and a workflow orchestrator).
