Meet our first general-purpose robot at @DexmateAI dexmate.ai/vega Adjustable height from 0.66m to 2.2m: compact enough for an SUV, tall enough to reach those impossible high shelves. Powerful dual arms (15lbs payload each) and omni-directional mobility for ultimate versatility. More videos showcasing Vega in action coming this week! Stay tuned to see this robot partner.
Introducing Vega: ๐Ÿค– @DexmateAI's newest robot that makes complex manipulation tasks simple. โœจ A step closer to intelligence and automation. ๐Ÿš€ ๐ŸŽฅ Watch now: youtu.be/PecqfiJNwQI #Robotics #AI #Automation

Excited to share T-Rex: Tactile-Reactive Dexterous Manipulation ๐Ÿฆ–๐Ÿค– Touch is fundamental to human dexterity, yet most Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models either ignore tactile feedback or lack the ability to react to high-frequency contact signals. In this work, we tackle both the data and architectural challenges of tactile-reactive dexterous manipulation. ๐Ÿฆ– A 100-hour tactile-synchronized dexterous manipulation dataset with 7,700 trajectories, 22 motor primitives, and 200 everyday objects. ๐Ÿฆ– A tactile-reactive MoT architecture with spatial-temporal tactile encoding and asynchronous high-frequency tactile refinement. ๐Ÿฆ– A scalable training recipe combining 22,889 hours of human egocentric pretraining with tactile-grounded robot mid-training. Across 12 real-world contact-rich manipulation tasks, T-Rex achieves over 30% higher average success rate than the strongest baseline. We are fully open-sourcing the dataset, models, teleoperation stack, training code, and inference pipeline. ๐ŸŒ Project: tactile-rex.github.io/ ๐Ÿ“„ Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2606.17055 ๐Ÿ’ป Code: github.com/ZhuoyangLiu2005/Tโ€ฆ ๐Ÿค— Dataset: huggingface.co/datasets/zekaโ€ฆ ๐Ÿงต Thread โ†“

Excited to share that Assured Robot Intelligence (ARI) has joined @Meta to help build the future of humanoid intelligence! When we started ARI one year ago, our mission was clear: achieve physical AGI. Through deep customer engagements and real-world deployments, it became clear to us that serving the massive opportunity ahead requires training a truly general-purpose physical agent. We believe this agent will be humanoid โ€” and that scaling will come from learning directly from human experience, not teleoperation alone. Metaโ€™s ecosystem brings together the key components needed to make this vision possible. We will be joining Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL) to help bring personal superintelligence into the physical world. We are incredibly grateful to the brilliant minds, robotics researchers, engineers, partners, and supporters who have worked with us on this journey. Thank you to our investors and angels, led by @aixventureshq , for believing in our mission. This is just the beginning.
Meta Platforms Inc. has acquired Assured Robot Intelligence, a startup developing artificial intelligence models for robots, as part of a major initiative to build humanoid technology. bloomberg.com/news/articles/โ€ฆ

MODEX Day 2 and the energy keeps building ๐Ÿ”ฅ Vega had some new tricks today: Picking up boxes and flipping them. The best part? Watching people take the controls for their very first time. One visitor said:"it feels like playing a video game." That's the whole point, Physical AI should be powerful and fun to use. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ Vega Snapshot is very a popular spot at our booth. Everyone loves a good photo moment with a robot. ๐Ÿ“ธ We're a Physical AI company based in Silicon Valley, and what makes this week special is seeing people from all walks of life connect with our technology. Robotics is for everyone. Two more days to go.

We're thrilled to announce the recipients of the Dexmate Build with Vega U Research Grant Program. Out of an incredible pool of proposals, six research teams have been selected to receive a Vega U dual-arm manipulation platform to advance their work in dexterous manipulation, Physical AI, and human-robot interaction. We built this program because we believe the future of Physical AI and robot intelligence will be shaped by leading research. These teams are pushing the boundaries of what's possible, and we're honored to put our full-stack Physical AI platform in their hands. Units ship in the coming weeks. We can't wait to see what they build. ๐Ÿค–โœจ #PhysicalAI #FullStackRobotics #DeveloperPlatform #Dexmate #Robotics #GeneralPurposeRobot #Vega #RoboticsResearch #Grant

๐Ÿ“Quick takeaways from people who met Vega at NVIDIA GTC 2026: โ€œFriendly. Approachable. Not intimidating.โ€ โ€œKind of cuteโ€ฆ I like it.โ€ From healthcare to service environments, people instantly saw real-world Physical AI use cases. But more importantly, the interaction felt intuitive. Thatโ€™s what it takes for Physical AI to move from demo to deployment.โœจ๐Ÿค– #NVIDIAGTC #GTC2026 #PhysicalAI #Robotics #Dexmate #AI #Vega #Developerplatform

๐ŸŽ“ I graduated from MIT in 2024. What got me through my Ph.D. wasn't just hard work and a great lab โ€” it was also the open-source tools, codebases, and shared resources from a community that believed in giving freely. Now it's our turn. ๐Ÿ™Œ ๐Ÿค– We're launching the Dexmate Build with Vega U Research Grant Program to put high-quality, easy-to-use robot platforms in the hands of university labs โ€” so researchers can stop being bottlenecked by their hardware and get back to making breakthroughs. ๐Ÿš€ ๐Ÿ’ก If you're a PI working on the next wave of Physical AI, I personally encourage you to apply. This program is for the whole research community โ€” whether we've met or not. No strings attached. ๐Ÿค ๐Ÿ‘‡ Apply here: dexmate.ai/research-grant If this resonates, tag a lab or researcher who should know about this. ๐Ÿ“ฃ
