Hands

Hands sold separatelypriced by quote

The robot ships without hands or grippers. Dexmate sells the DexGripper S and D (60 N grip, 55 degree opening, self-locking, 1.0 kg and 1.4 kg) and publishes a mechanical and electrical interface for third-party tools. The spec sheet PDF also names a 'Dexmate 6-DoF hand' as an option, but no such hand is sold on the store. Papers on Dexmate's research page used Vega with third-party Sharpa Wave hands.

In the crate

Vega 1 Pro robot, assembled and tested SDK with Python, C++ and Rust APIs SimReady URDF and USD models of the robot

You still have to add

Any autonomy or AI model: Dexmate says no autonomy is bundled and task behavior is yours to build A teleoperation device: the Vega 1 Exoskeleton ($1,800, JoyCon controllers included) is a separate item, and no VR headset is listed on the store The optional force/torque add-on for admittance control (not priced on the store)

Day oneThe arms, torso, head and omnidirectional base move under position control through the API, with safety checks and the camera and LiDAR sensors working.

Reality check

The $75,000 buys a body with no hands and no autonomy: two grippers add $6,000 to $9,800, the exoskeleton $1,800, US freight was $3,500, and ordering from the EU means emailing Dexmate first.

Dexmate's public web store takes orders with no business or institution check stated. Its terms require the buyer to be of legal age and let Dexmate refuse orders it judges to come from dealers, resellers or distributors. The robot is sold as a platform for developers and researchers, hardware only. The online cart priced freight for US addresses only.

Price notes: Dexmate store, USD, before tax and freight. Vega 1 Pro (wheeled humanoid, the only wheeled edition listed): $75,000.00 for hardware without any end effector. Vega 1 U (the same upper body on a stand or tabletop with a Jetson Orin Nano, no wheeled base, corded power): $42,000.00, not counted as a complete wheeled robot. End effectors are priced per gripper and each robot takes two: DexGripper S $3,000.00 (or $3,900.00 with an RGB camera and mount) and DexGripper D $4,000.00 (or $4,900.00 with camera), so a Vega 1 Pro with two grippers is $81,000 to $84,800. The Vega 1 Exoskeleton teleoperation interface is $1,800.00. The cart showed 'Ground freight' of $3,500.00 for a Vega 1 Pro to US addresses (California, New York, Texas); the page says freight is 'quoted at checkout'. The Startup Program offers up to $22K off per unit on Vega 1 Pro (first two units, US) or $10K off outside the US, by application, for companies that raised under $5M; end effectors are excluded. Fleet quantities are quoted on request. No separate 'Vega 1' edition is listed. Checked 17 Oct 2026.

The maker's shares

All makers

Dexmate: Private: its shares do not trade on any exchange.

Dexmate Inc. (Santa Clara, Delaware corporation incorporated 2024) filed a Form D on 13 Mar 2026 with first sale on 20 Feb 2026, and NEC announced a further investment on 25 Aug 2026. No listing step was found and the shares do not trade.

Size to scale

Drawn next to a 1.80 m (5 ft 11 in) person. Every robot on the site uses this same reference, so you can trust the comparison at a glance.

About the Vegabackground, hardware and buying reality

Dexmate was founded in 2024 by Tao Chen, Yuzhe Qin and Chongyang Wang and lists a Fremont, California address. Vega 1 Pro has a 3-DoF torso, a 3-DoF head with a stereo RGB camera, two 7-DoF arms (5 kg per arm) and an omnidirectional base with two LiDARs and four cameras, driven by an NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor. It measures 66 cm tall when folded, reaches from the floor to 2.2 m (2.5 m with arms raised), weighs 135 kg and is rated for 20 hours of operation. You get the robot, Python, C++ and Rust APIs and URDF and USD models, with no autonomy included. Dexmate says published research from UC Berkeley, Stanford, CMU, NVIDIA and Google DeepMind ran on Vega, and NEC's venture fund invested in August 2026.

What it does on day onewith zero programming

The arms, torso, head and omnidirectional base move under position control through the API, with safety checks and the camera and LiDAR sensors working. No tasks or AI behaviors are included, and without end effectors it cannot grasp anything.

Best for: Robot-learning labs and physical AI startups that want a ready bimanual mobile base with an SDK and simulation models, and will add their own grippers and software.

Documented uses

Robotics R&D

Dexmate documents Python, C++ and Rust APIs, SimReady URDF and USD models, VR and exoskeleton teleoperation, and lists labs that published research on Vega.

No autonomy ships with it and grippers are sold separately, so manipulation work needs added end effectors.

Source reviewed 2026-10-17

Assessment from published documentation, not an independent performance test. Applies to the configuration described above.

What it takes to developskills, gear, and SDK access

Programming in Python, C++ or Rust on a Linux machine (the ROS bridge targets Ubuntu 22.04 or 24.04), a pair of end effectors (DexGripper S or D, or your own tool), a teleoperation setup for demonstrations (the $1,800 exoskeleton or VR), and a GPU workstation to train policies.

SDK access: Control and sensing API 'dexcontrol' (pip install dexcontrol, GitHub dexmate-ai, Python 3.10 to 3.13) is AGPL-3.0 with a commercial license available on request for closed-source use, and its version must match the robot firmware on the minor version. The maker also lists C++ and Rust APIs and SDK docs on DexHub (not inspected). ROS 2 comes through a bridge (dexcontrol-rosbridge, Humble or Jazzy) that republishes sensor data from the robot's Zenoh network; no native ROS 2 stack is stated. SimReady URDF and USD models match the robot (dexmate-urdf on GitHub). The open-source omniteleop stack (AGPL-3.0) covers exoskeleton, JoyCon and VR teleoperation and demonstration recording.
