Dexterity

Advanced

A US logistics-robotics company using AI dual-arm robots to load trucks and sort packages.

Dexterity was founded in 2017, headquartered in Redwood City, California; its founder and CEO, Samir Menon, holds a computer science PhD from Stanford, and much of the founding team also came out of Stanford's robotics research community. It focuses on the heaviest, messiest jobs in logistics warehouses, such as loading and unloading trucks, depalletizing, and parcel sorting. Rather than betting on a single large model, it combines multiple smaller, task-specific models with force control and perception. In March 2025 it launched Mech, a mobile base carrying two large arms with a roughly 16-foot reach that the company says can move boxes weighing more than 130 pounds, aimed at truck loading; that same month it raised $95 million at a $1.65 billion valuation. The company says it logged more than 100 million autonomous actions in live production in 2025, and in 2026 FedEx named it a key technology partner at its investor day.

ExampleAt a warehouse dock, Mech takes boxes off a conveyor belt one at a time and packs them into a truck trailer — a physically demanding job with high worker turnover.
