aid: dexterity name: Dexterity description: >- Dexterity is a Redwood City, California Physical AI company founded in 2017 by Samir Menon and a group of Stanford roboticists. It builds a full-stack industrial robotics platform that combines the Mech — a roving, dual-arm superhumanoid robot — with Foresight, an in-house world model trained on more than 100 million autonomous actions in production. Foresight orchestrates 68+ skill agents (packing, motion, actualization, trajectory, force-control) across the IRIS hardware abstraction layer to drive Kawasaki arms, HiWin motion components, and Dexterity's own mobile bases at sub-400ms decision latency with zero reported safety incidents. Customers include FedEx, UPS, Sagawa Express, Maersk, and VFC, and the company has raised more than 291M USD from Kleiner Perkins, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Obvious Ventures, Sumitomo Corporation, and B37 Ventures. Dexterity's commercial offering is enterprise Physical AI deployment (no self-service developer API), but it does run a public, research-grade REST API — the Foresight Packing Challenge — that exposes the bin-packing facet of Foresight as a programmable sequential placement game, with a 50,000 USD grand prize and participation restricted to .edu email holders. type: Index position: Provider access: 3rd-Party image: https://kinlane-productions.s3.amazonaws.com/apis-json/apis-json-logo.jpg tags: - Physical AI - Industrial Robotics - Robotics - Warehouse Automation - Logistics - Manufacturing - World Model - Foresight - Mech - Dual-Arm - Truck Loading - Palletizing - Depalletizing - Singulation - Research API - Packing Challenge url: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/api-evangelist/dexterity/refs/heads/main/apis.yml created: '2026-05-24' modified: '2026-05-24' specificationVersion: '0.20' apis: - aid: dexterity:dexterity-foresight-packing-challenge name: Dexterity Foresight Packing Challenge API description: >- Public REST API exposing the Foresight Packing Challenge as a sequential 3D bin-packing problem. Autonomous agents start a game, place boxes sequentially inside a 2.0m x 2.6m x 2.75m truck, and submit final packing density scores to a public leaderboard. Two modes are supported: dev (unlimited, physics-free testing) and compete (full physics simulation with a 50 games/day per-API-key cap). API keys are issued by reaching at least 50% density in the public Truck Loading Game; full leaderboard participation and the 50,000 USD grand prize are restricted to .edu (or equivalent university) email holders.
