Dexterity
Physical AI for warehouse work — its robots load FedEx and UPS trucks. Series C at a $1.6B valuation, ~$300M raised.
Overview
Dexterity ships robots that already work full shifts: truck loading, parcel induction, and palletizing for FedEx, UPS, and Sumitomo-affiliated logistics operators. Founder Samir Menon's pitch is 'physical AI' as a software platform — force-controlled arms that feel what they grip — rather than a novel robot body, and in 2026 the company added Foresight, a world model trained on 100M+ production robot actions. Lightspeed has led three of its rounds, including the $95M Series C in March 2025 at a $1.6B valuation with Sumitomo participating; cumulative funding is roughly $300M.
