About Dexmate

Dexmate is a robotics company based in Santa Clara, California, founded in 2024 by researchers from MIT, UC San Diego, and Carnegie Mellon University. The company develops AI-powered mobile manipulation systems for industrial automation, combining advanced robotics with embodied AI to automate tasks requiring dexterity, reach, and continuous operation. Its approach prioritizes practical deployment through wheeled mobility and flexible manipulation rather than bipedal locomotion. Its flagship platform, Vega, combines dual robotic arms, dexterous hands, an omnidirectional mobile base, and a foldable torso that extends its working range from ground level to overhead tasks. Designed for manufacturing, logistics, and research, Vega offers long operating times, open developer tools, and high-performance manipulation for real-world industrial environments.
