Dexterity, a global leader in physical AI and robotics, today announced a strategic partnership with ASRock Rack, a leading provider of server and motherboard solutions, to develop custom AI supercomputing systems that power edge intelligence in Dexterity's Mech industrial superhumanoid robot. The collaboration brings enterprise-grade computational power directly to the robot, enabling real-time AI processing for complex warehouse automation tasks without relying on cloud connectivity.
The partnership centers on ASRock Rack's development of specialized custom edge AI servers—compact servers optimized for the demanding computational requirements of Dexterity's Physical AI platform. These custom systems are designed to handle the intensive processing needed for Dexterity's modular AI architecture, which combines foundation model decision engines with specialized manipulation agents to solve previously intractable packing and handling problems.
By embedding powerful AI supercomputing capabilities directly into the Mech platform, Dexterity's robots can create a real-time picture of their environment from force sensors and up to sixteen 3D cameras, perform complex reasoning, planning, and manipulation tasks entirely at the edge. This eliminates latency issues, ensures consistent performance regardless of network conditions, and provides the computational foundation needed for safe, real-time, production-grade performance in enterprise environments.
ASRock Rack's custom edge AI servers are engineered to meet the unique requirements of robotic applications, including thermal management, vibration resistance, and power efficiency while delivering the processing power necessary for Dexterity's sophisticated AI algorithms. The collaboration leverages ASRock Rack's expertise in high-performance computing systems and Dexterity's breakthrough Physical AI approach to create a new category of truly autonomous industrial robots.
"Edge intelligence is critical to unlocking the full potential of Physical AI in warehouse environments," said Samir Menon, CEO ofDexterity. "ASRock Rack's specialized custom edge AI servers give our Mech platform the computational power to make complex decisions and execute precise manipulations in real-time, without any dependence on external systems. This partnership enables us to deliver truly autonomous robots that can handle the most challenging warehouse tasks with superhuman performance.”
“Dexterity’s innovative Mech design allows for the deployment of GPU servers into robotic units powering Physical AI, merging the most trending AI server and robotic industry” said Weishi Sa, President of ASRock Rack. “The Mech’s flexibility and intelligence unlock value for business leaders in parcel, ground logistics, retail, e-commerce, and many other markets where adaptability and physical AI-powered intelligence provides a significant advantage. We are deeply honored to collaborate with Dexterity on a groundbreaking project that delivers unparalleled value to the logistics industry.”
The partnership supports Dexterity's continued expansion following its recent $95 million funding round and strategic partnerships with industry leaders including FedEx and Sagawa Express Corp. The ASRock Rack-powered systems will be deployed across Dexterity's growing fleet of Mechs performing parcel handling, retail logistics, e-commerce fulfillment, and warehousing applications.
