Stanford-educated roboticist Samir Menon never set out to replace human workers with machines. He wants to ‘supercharge’ them, and now his billion-dollar startup, Dexterity, is betting that vision could shape the future of global labor.
Founded in 2017, Dexterity builds what it calls "superhumanoids," industrial robots designed to work in extreme conditions like high heat or altitude, where human labor often falls short. The company is currently valued at $1.65 billion and has entered unicorn territory with backing from major players like FedEx (NYSE:FDX) and Kawasaki Heavy Industries, The Wall Street Journal reports.
