Dexmate Vega Series

A US-made wheeled dual-arm humanoid with a foldable, telescoping torso, aimed at research and data collection.

Vega is the first general-purpose robot from Dexmate, a startup based in Santa Clara, California, opened for preorder in 2025 with an early dexterous-hand configuration listed at about $89,900; as of September 2026, the Vega 1 Pro on the company's site lists at $72,000 excluding the hand. Its lower half is an omnidirectional wheeled base, and its upper half a humanoid structure with two arms and a head. Its most distinctive feature is a foldable, telescoping torso: it collapses to about 66 cm for transport and extends to reach up to about 2.2 meters high. The current Vega 1 Pro has 24 degrees of freedom in the body (7 per arm, 3 in the torso, 3 in the head, 4 in the base), a separately sold 6-DoF dexterous hand or gripper, RGBD cameras, lidar, force/torque sensing, over 10 hours of battery life, and a Python API plus URDF/USD models for simulators. It represents the wheeled-humanoid approach: trading bipedal walking for stability, battery life, and easier manipulation research.

ExampleA lab can use Vega for mobile-manipulation data collection, having it retrieve an item from a tall cabinet at home and place it on a table.
