About
About Dexterity
Dexterity supplies a full-stack robotic handling platform built around perception, motion planning, grasping and task-level AI rather than fixed, single-purpose automation. Its Foresight system models objects, containers, robot state and likely outcomes before acting, allowing robots to adapt to mixed cases, shifting loads and deformable packaging across singulation, pallet handling, trailer loading and unloading workflows.
The platform is deployed as integrated cells and multi-robot systems with fleet orchestration, operational monitoring and remote support. Dexterity trains its models on production interactions and reports more than 100 million autonomous actions, with decisions generated in under 400 milliseconds for continuous material flow. Customers including FedEx, Sumitomo and Sagawa use the technology in logistics operations where the robot must maintain throughput across changing product mixes without requiring every item and motion to be pre-programmed.
