Embodied AI 2026: Private Roundtable by Dyna Robotics & Human Capital

​Embodied AI had a breakout year—and 2026 will be bigger.
Dyna Robotics and Human Capital are hosting a closed-door roundtable for researchers and builders to compare notes, share hard-won lessons, and map what’s next.

​Who’s in the room

• ​Dyna cofounders: Lindon Gao & Jason Ma on our journey and what’s coming.

• ​12–15 curated guests from leading labs and companies shaping embodied AI.

• ​Partners from Human Capital.

• ​We welcome researchers from LLM/VLM/video-gen—let’s cross-pollinate!

​What we’ll dig into

• ​Scaling data for robotics: emerging “scaling laws,” multi-modal data mixes, and what actually moves the curve.

• ​The right model bets: VLA vs. world models; action data and where sim fits.

• ​Lessons from LLM/video-gen: if 1000× data became feasible, what would we change?

• ​Hardware x Model: supply-chain truths, China’s robotics ecosystem, and practical takeaways.

• ​2026 outlook: milestones we expect in embodied AI—models, evals, deployment.

​Format & Vibe

• ​6:00 - 6:30 PM Check-in & Mingle

• ​6:30 - 8:00 PM: Quick Intros & Provocations with Catered Dinner by HC (Yummmmy!)

• ​8:00 - 9:00 PM: Social & Drinks

​When & where

• ​Human Capital SF HQ (address upon confirmation)

• ​Invite-only

​Join us to connect with like-minded builders—and push Physical AGI forward together.
