Vega

DexmateWheeled humanoid robot

Vega is a general-purpose wheeled humanoid made by Dexmate. Its two 7-DoF arms each carry 5 kg and sit on an adjustable 3-DoF torso that lets them work from the floor up to 2.2 m, under a 3-DoF head. The omnidirectional base adds four joints, two for steering and two for drive, for 24 degrees of freedom in total. Dexmate gives a weight of 135 kg, a height of 2.50 m with the arms raised and 0.66 m when folded, and 20 hours of operation per charge.

The head carries a stereo RGB camera; the base has front and rear LiDAR and four RGB cameras. Compute is an NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor, with USB-A, USB-C, 5GbE Ethernet and DisplayPort interfaces. The arms are position-controlled, and an optional force-torque add-on enables admittance control. End effectors are bought separately: the Dexmate 6-DoF hand, a DexGripper D or S, or the buyer's own tool on Dexmate's published mechanical and electrical interface.

Dexmate sells Vega as hardware with an SDK exposing Python, C++ and Rust APIs, plus simulation-ready URDF and USD models of the robot. It states that no autonomy is included, so task behaviour is for the buyer to build or teach, for example from demonstrations collected by teleoperation over VR or an exoskeleton. The maker says Vega is in production, with delivery around four weeks after order confirmation.
