We aim to revolutionize the logistics and robotics markets with AI-powered robots. By promoting a strategic collaboration between Japan’s world-class robotics hardware and Silicon Valley’s cutting-edge robotics software, we strive to address the labor shortage challenges in the logistics industry.
Dexterity was founded in 2017 as a spin-out from the robotics lab at Stanford University.
This cutting-edge Physical AI and robotics startup has raised capital from some of the world’s leading venture capital firms—those that have supported major tech companies such as GAFA since their early days—and has grown into a unicorn.
By combining the advanced AI technologies developed at Stanford with Japan’s world-class robotics hardware, Dexterity is committed to driving continuous innovation. The company is first tackling labor shortages in the logistics industry.
Stanford University Robotics Lab
Our company brings together top engineering talent from Silicon Valley and Japan to develop cutting-edge Physical AI-powered robots.As a testament to our advanced technology, we have secured dozens of patents to date—holding over 80 patents as of 2025. In addition to designing the entire robot in-house, we develop AI, vision systems, and control software, enabling us to tailor deployments to each operational environment. This integrated approach allows us to automate and optimize operations across a wide range of scenarios.
To automate and reduce labor in logistics warehouse operations, it is critical that AI-powered robots handle diverse packages with flexibility, speed, and accuracy. Achieving this requires developing not just individual components but the entire robot system, along with optimizing the overall operation.
Comprehensive Design & Optimization of Logistics Operations
Tailored Solutions for Each Customer’s Logistics Operations: Comprehensive Management and Automation from Loading to Unloading
The Dexterity platform leverages cutting-edge AI and control technologies to empower robots with the capabilities needed to automate complex warehouse tasks — from loading and unloading trucks and containers to pallet breakdown and order processing.
By implementing the Dexterity platform, even the most challenging warehouse issues are effectively solved.
As robots carry out their tasks, the platform continuously collects extensive operational data and provides real-time visualization and optimization of operations — including throughput — to enhance productivity across facilities and the entire supply chain.
Our AI-powered robots can automate complex logistics operations that traditional industrial arms have been unable to handle. They are capable of handling items of various sizes and shapes, whether boxed or bagged.
Without altering existing workflows, our robots perform picking, palletizing/de-palletizing, and loading/unloading tasks flexibly and swiftly. They are designed to continuously learn from each operation and adapt, driving ongoing improvements in efficiency and productivity.
In particular, the automation of the physically demanding task of loading trucks and containers has been made possible by our overwhelming technological capabilities.
Truck Loading
トラックローディング
In the U.S., where labor shortages and rising wages are rapidly progressing, Dexterity’s bulk loading application for trucks is being deployed at FedEx, a major logistics company. FedEx is actively investing to address the chronic labor shortage in the industry while working to improve logistics operations.
The robots pick a wide variety of bulk cargo items one by one and sort them onto conveyors. Although the task is simple, it demands high accuracy and speed. Dexterity’s robots deliver human-level or better performance, providing a crucial solution to the chronic labor shortage at the site.
We leverage cutting-edge AI-powered robot technology to drive efficiency and automation in logistics operations.
We are looking for passionate team members to join us in delivering innovative solutions that lead the global logistics industry.
