Dexter Industries

Dexter Industries was founded in July 2009 by a group of engineers with an interest in robotics. Their first product was the dSwitch, and they have since created several robots for the Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and Lego Mindstorms NXT systems. Dexter Industries is located in the Washington, D.C. area.

The company has launched a series of Kickstarter campaigns to raise funding for their Raspberry Pi robots.

In July 2019, Dexter Industries was acquired by Modular Robotics, a robotics company in Boulder, Colorado, for an undisclosed amount. Its headquarters were moved to Boulder.

Dexter Industries has developed an operating system based on Raspbian Operation System for robotics. The project is open source and can be downloaded for free.

The company supports a number of open source software projects based on Python, C, Java, and other programming languages.

In the past, Dexter Industries developed third-party software for support of the Lego Mindstorms NXT and EV3 robotics systems. The company also works with other developers to create driver software for their products.
