Dyna Robotics Unveils DYNA-2, a Robot Policy Trained on Over a Million Hours of Human Video

Dyna Robotics has introduced DYNA-2, a robot policy trained on over one million hours of egocentric human video, with no robot data in pre-training. Built on a World-Action Model architecture, DYNA-2 outperforms its predecessor DYNA-1 in real-world tests, completing 1.55 times as many tasks and achieving 87% pass rates in customer deployments. The model's physical intuition transfers across embodiments, and the company plans to scale training to 10 million hours of video.

Google DeepMind's Gemini Robotics 2 gives humanoid robots full-body control from feet to fingertips

Google DeepMind announced Gemini Robotics 2, a new AI model that gives humanoid robots full-body control from feet to fingertips, surpassing the previous version's upper-body-only limitations. The update includes improvements to the Gemini Robotics ER 2 vision-language model for safety and collaboration, and an On-Device Model that adapts to different robot bodies. Demonstrations show robots performing tasks like picking up objects, sealing bags, and unscrewing lightbulbs, marking a significant step toward real-world deployment.

Enigma raises $70M to simplify robot control like a volume knob

Enigma, a robotics research lab emerging from stealth, has raised $70 million in seed funding led by Index Ventures and Ribbit Capital. The startup aims to study how humans naturally interact with robots, launching a large-scale online experiment with over 100 proprietary AI robots. Co-founders Jonathan Jacobi and Gal Niv, both cybersecurity veterans, believe robot control should be as intuitive as adjusting a car's volume knob.

NVIDIA Open Sources GPU Medical Physics Simulation Framework

NVIDIA has open sourced its Medical Physics Simulation framework, a GPU-accelerated tool within Isaac for Healthcare that helps medical robotics developers model anatomy-device interactions, generate rare scenarios, and train robot policies in virtual environments. The framework combines classical physics simulation with generative AI from NVIDIA Cosmos-H Dreams, enabling parallel training of thousands of robot environments. Medical device leaders including CMR Surgical, Johnson & Johnson MedTech, and XCath are already using it to advance surgical robotics and regulatory evidence.

Anthropic-Physical Intelligence Acquisition Rumor Sparks AI Twitter Frenzy

A weekend rumor about Anthropic acquiring robotics startup Physical Intelligence spread rapidly across AI Twitter, despite a denial from Physical Intelligence's CEO. The rumor gained traction due to Physical Intelligence's high-profile co-founders, over $1 billion in funding, and its widely used π0.5 robot brain model. Reports indicate that acquisition talks did occur between the two companies this spring, adding fuel to the speculation.
