Whoever learns fastest wins over time. That happens through rapid prototyping, testing, and iteration. A responsive, capable machine shop makes that possible at Castelion. Here's how.

Andrei is building robots that can scan an entire warehouse, rack by rack, and turn what they see into live inventory data. His company, @dexoryHQ, builds the hardware, the software, and increasingly the machines that make the robots. I visited their factory outside Oxford to see what that looks like in practice: an eight-metre scanning tower, CNC machines making robot parts, and a robot arm being trained to help automate the machine shop. Andrej told me why his team brings more work in-house as Dexory scales: “If you rely on someone else’s roadmap, if you rely on someone else’s timelines, you have no real power and control.” This is a tour of a full-stack robotics company, and a conversation about speed, reliability, and what it takes to build robots for the real world. 00:00 Intro 01:15 Factory tour: getting started 02:40 Continuous tower testing 04:10 Electronics and bringing components in-house 06:00 Scaling production 07:21 CNC machining and robots making robot parts 09:20 AI-driven manufacturing plans 11:00 Fixtureless machining and custom cutting tools 13:06 Robot-arm and motor reliability testing 15:54 Capabilities of the robot with the CTO 18:05 Live demo: eight-metre tower and warehouse scanning 19:00 Remote inventory images and autonomous charging ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →
