LG CNS invests in Dexmate for industrial Vega deployments

LG CNS made a strategic investment in Silicon Valley robotics startup Dexmate on March 10, 2026, through LG Technology Ventures. The investment added Vega, Dexmate’s wheeled dual-arm humanoid robot, to LG CNS’ industrial robotics portfolio as the Korean IT services company builds around robot hardware, foundation models, operations software and training systems for logistics and smart-factory customers.

Dexmate launched Vega in March 2025 as its first public robot. Co-founder Tao Chen presented the system as a general-purpose mobile robot developed in under six months, with high-payload arms, dexterous hands, a foldable torso and arms, omnidirectional base movement and more than 10 hours of operating time.

Vega has a humanoid upper body for reaching and handling objects and a wheeled base for movement through warehouses, factories and logistics sites. The hardware listing priced the robot body at $96,000, with AI capabilities sold separately.

The Robot

Vega’s architecture is practical for industrial sites: two arms, hands, a compact transport posture, omnidirectional motion and long runtime. The foldable structure helps the robot move through workspaces and extend for higher-reach tasks, while the wheeled base avoids the balance and energy cost of bipedal locomotion.

NVIDIA featured Vega in 2025 and quoted Chen describing a workflow built around factory scanning, digital twins, Isaac Sim, synthetic data and VLA models based on NVIDIA Isaac GR00T.

The Investment

The Dexmate investment adds wheeled humanoid hardware for logistics and manufacturing to LG CNS’ robotics portfolio.

Dexmate’s own post on the LG CNS relationship said the companies were expanding Vega deployments into logistics and manufacturing.
