Dexterity

What Dexterity does

Dexterity, Inc. is a private Physical AI company founded in 2017 and headquartered in Redwood City, California, that builds AI-powered robotic systems for warehouse and logistics automation. Its core offering combines proprietary AI software (the Foresight world model, developed over seven years and trained on more than 100 million autonomous actions in production) with robotic hardware, most notably the Mech super humanoid robot, a dual-armed platform that performs autonomous trailer loading, unloading, and parcel sorting. The Foresight API extends the platform to external developers building packing agents, and the software stack is integrated with third-party robotic arms including Kawasaki Robotics' RL030N 8 DoF platform.

The company's customer base consists of large enterprise logistics operators, with publicly named customers including FedEx, UPS, DHL, and Sagawa Express. FedEx is the most prominent deployment partner, with robots running full shifts at FedEx hubs achieving up to 13% improvement in trailer utilization and over 99% sorting accuracy, and FedEx has signaled intent to scale autonomous trailer loading across multiple U.S. hubs. Dexterity monetizes through a Robotics-as-a-Service model involving ongoing deployment and service contracts, supplemented by sale and integration of AI-enabled dual-arm robotic systems with partner hardware.

The company has raised approximately $291.2 million in cumulative funding across multiple rounds, with a Series B of $140 million in October 2021 valuing it at $1.4 billion and a subsequent $95 million round in March 2025 valuing it at $1.65 billion. Strategic moves in 2026 include the launch of the Foresight world model, the formation of the Dexterity-SC Japan joint venture with Sumitomo Corporation, an expanded collaboration with Kawasaki Robotics, integration optimization with NVIDIA hardware, and founding membership in the Robots for America coalition launched at the White House's request. Dexterity has 251-500 employees and operates in the United States and Japan.

Core offering

Dexterity builds and deploys AI-powered robotic systems for warehouse and logistics automation. The company combines its proprietary Foresight world model (a Physical AI software stack) with Mech super humanoid robots to autonomously perform trailer loading/unloading, parcel sorting, and truck loading for enterprise logistics operators. Deployments are sold as Robotics-as-a-Service to large parcel and 3PL customers.

Product overview

Dexterity is an enterprise Physical AI company offering a unified platform combining proprietary robotics hardware and AI software. The core product is the Mech super humanoid robot, which operates alongside the Foresight world model - a proprietary AI system developed over seven years that provides perception, decisioning, and execution capabilities. The Foresight API enables external developers to build packing agents. The company integrates its systems with Kawasaki Robotics hardware (RL030N arm) and TorqueAGI's world model for expanded capabilities. Their robots have completed over 100 million autonomous actions in production with zero safety incidents, serving enterprise logistics customers including FedEx, UPS, and Sagawa Express.
