World-first super-humanoid robot for industrial work with AI boost unveiled by US firm
Mech’s dual arms, 5.4m armspan, and 132lb capacity offer dexterity and AI-powered touch for precise material handling.
Dexterity, a US-based company, has unveiled the world’s first industrial super-humanoid robot, aiming to revolutionize enterprise operations.
Named Mech, it is equipped with two arms on a rover. It navigates warehouses and industrial sites, tackling stressful, repetitive tasks with ease.
“Mech has been engineered from the ground up to bring human skill and superhuman strength to industrial environments. Leveraging Dexterity’s advanced Physical AI makes tackling new tasks as simple as installing a new app,” said the firm in a blog post.
The California-based physical AI and robotics firm’s new product is currently available for truck loading, industrial and enterprise customers, with additional software applications planned for release in 2025 to expand its capabilities.
Boosting productivity
Built for efficiency, Mech features dual arms with a 5.4-meter armspan and a lifting capacity of 132 pounds (60 kilograms). Its patented shoulder and second elbow enhance dexterity, allowing it to handle complex tasks with ease. The robot’s advanced AI provides a human-like sense of touch, offering precise manipulation and careful handling of various materials, including boxes, parcels, and polybags.
Mech, mounted on an agile rover base, spins, strafes, climbs ramps, and maneuvers around workstations. A supercomputer, two vacuum pumps, and an extensive sensor and safety system are all included in the base.
