The honest brief
Dyna Robotics
Pitched as the first commercial-ready robot foundation model — DYNA-1 ran 24h of autonomous folding at a reported 99.4% success rate.
- Commercial-grade autonomous dexterity
- Demonstrated 24h continuous operation
- Founders sold prior startup to Instacart
- Backed by CRV, First Round, Salesforce
- Narrow demonstrated task set so far
- Closed, enterprise deployment model
- Early commercial traction vs big claims
- Requires its own robot hardware
Figure AI
Exited its OpenAI deal to own the full stack — Helix runs onboard, so hardware and AI are built end-to-end in-house.
- Proprietary Helix VLA model
- Full-stack hardware + AI
- Real pilots (BMW manufacturing)
- Figure 03 targets the home
- Not a buyable product yet
- Capital-intensive, long timelines
- General-purpose autonomy unproven at scale
