Dexterity is a Redwood City, California Physical AI company founded in 2017 by Samir Menon and a group of Stanford roboticists. It builds a full-stack industrial robotics platform that combines the Mech — a roving, dual-arm superhumanoid robot — with Foresight, an in-house world model trained on more than 100 million autonomous actions in production. Foresight orchestrates 68+ skill agents (packing, motion, actualization, trajectory, force-control) across the IRIS hardware abstraction layer to drive Kawasaki arms, HiWin motion components, and Dexterity's own mobile bases at sub-400ms decision latency with zero reported safety incidents. Customers include FedEx, UPS, Sagawa Express, Maersk, and VFC, and the company has raised more than 291M USD from Kleiner Perkins, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Obvious Ventures, Sumitomo Corporation, and B37 Ventures. Dexterity's commercial offering is enterprise Physical AI deployment (no self-service developer API), but it does run a public, research-grade REST API — the Foresight Packing Challenge — that exposes the bin-packing facet of Foresight as a programmable sequential placement game, with a 50,000 USD grand prize and participation restricted to .edu email holders.
