The pain of repetitive operational tasks can be optional! As robotic technology continues to evolve from industrial factory arms to robots with human-like capabilities, more and more companies are embracing this technology in the workplace to streamline logistics, increase automation, and ease the strain of repetition.

On this episode, we’re taking a closer look at how robots can be used to support and power human capabilities with Dr. Samir Menon, Founder and CEO of Dexterity, a company engineering intelligent robots with human-like dexterous manipulation skills.

Dexterity is a developer of robotic systems designed to serve the logistics and supply chain companies. The company's robotic system helps customers to unlock the maximum value of their workforce by automating repetitive pick-pack tasks, and deliver full-stack, end-to-end systems for kitting, picking, packing, counting, sorting, palletizing, and order fulfillment, and also excel at handling packaged foods, consumer packaged goods, industrial and automotive parts, parcels, and boxes, enabling clients to unleash human potential by delegating repetition to robots
