Sebastian Thrun, a pioneer of self-driving car technology at Waymo, is building a new robotics startup called Dulo, according to reporting from multiple outlets. The company is currently in stealth mode, and Thrun shares limited information about its purpose, technology, or timeline.

Business Insider reports that Dulo is focused on advanced hardware design models. The Next Web says Thrun disclosed the venture briefly, including the name, after a keynote in San Francisco, where it was announced at the end of his talk. Both accounts characterize the announcement as minimal and emphasize that the startup remains under wraps, with details not yet publicly confirmed.

While the outlets agree on the existence of Dulo and its stealth status, their coverage differs in emphasis: one source highlights the stated focus on advanced hardware design models and the involvement of experienced industry staff, while the other focuses more on the circumstances of the public naming and the limited reveal itself.
