The robot weighs 135 kg, folds to 66 × 56 × 66 cm and reaches 2.5 m with arms raised. Each arm lifts more than 5 kg in any pose, and the company quotes more than 20 hours of operation.","The head carries a stereo RGB camera, there are front and rear lidars and four RGB cameras on the base, with optional arm force/torque sensing. Compute is an NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor. End effectors are ordered separately: a 6-DoF Dexmate hand, the DexGripper S or D (60 N grip force, holds its grip if power drops) or a customer tool on a published mount."]},{"h":"Software and AI","p":["The robot ships with Python, C++ and Rust APIs, simulation-ready URDF/USD models, fleet management and teleoperation by VR headset or exoskeleton. Dexmate runs the DexHub platform with SDK docs and GitHub repositories. The pitch is a data-collection and model-training platform rather than a ready-made worker."]},{"h":"Applications and deployments","p":["Dexmate's website shows users including Harvard, UC Berkeley, Columbia, Princeton, USC, UIUC, Johns Hopkins, LG, Samsung SDS and Field AI, with testimonials from Northwestern, USC and the LG CNS Future Robotics Lab. Korea's Dealsite describes the robot as suited to logistics centers and factories."]},{"h":"Manufacturer","p":["Dexmate was founded by Tao Chen, Yuzhe Qin and Chongyang Wang and is based in Silicon Valley. In 2026 LG CNS made a strategic investment through LG Technology Ventures; the amount was not disclosed."]},{"h":"Price and availability","p":["Dexmate says the Vega 1 Pro is in production and sells it through its own online shop.
