Dexterity's Mech 'superhumanoid' is now supported by Beckhoff’s EtherCAT standard.
Dexterity, a provider of physical AI and robotics, and Beckhoff USA, a developer of automation technology and creator of the EtherCAT fieldbus and Safety over EtherCAT (FSoE), have entered into a supplier agreement for the design and development of Mech ‘superhumanoid’ robots.
Beckhoff said it will provide Dexterity with a wide range of technologies to enable advanced automation and kinematics in current and future robotics, such as Mech. With projects including a collaboration with FedEx and Sagawa Express to deploy truck loading and unloading robots, Dexterity currently has a $1.65 billion valuation.
To continue this rapid business development and exceed the needs of high-profile material handling and intralogistics clients, Dexterity said that it must ensure that its robots offer breakthrough performance, unmatched reliability, and above all, total safety in bustling warehouses and distribution centers.
“This is where Beckhoff comes in,” said Avinash Verma, vice president of new product introduction, manufacturing and supply chain at Dexterity. “Beckhoff has consistently supported Dexterity as a trusted provider of best-in-class automation and controls components and helps us innovate and differentiate.”
Dexterity said these technologies encompass many areas of robot control and communication behind the scenes. This includes control technology that encompasses all hardware, software and networking needed.
Beckhoff’s control hardware is compact by design and accommodates space-constrained installation areas such as the inside of mobile robots and shuttles.
“Our global team is driven to help true innovators like Dexterity succeed with transformational technologies,” said Doug Schuchart, global intralogistics industry manager at Beckhoff. “Our hardware and software stack enables Dexterity to scale with ease - whether creating new technology categories with the most advanced robotic solutions out there, or with more entry-level solutions that still need to deliver on the promise of reliability and performance at a reasonable cost.”
