Meet the World's Tallest Autonomous Robots

Join us for a conversation with Oana Jinga, co-founder and Chief Commercial & Product Officer at Dexory, an innovator in warehouse robotics and intelligence. In this interview, Oana shares her journey from leading strategic partnerships at Google and Telefónica to co-founding a company that bridges the gap between cutting-edge robotics and practical, scalable solutions for the logistics industry. Oana shares the evolution of Dexory - from its early days as BotsAndUs to its current status as a European scale-up with nearly €300 million in funding, including a $165 million raise in 2025. She discusses the challenges of transitioning from DeepTech innovation to global scalability, and how the company balances technical ambition with real-world customer needs. With a focus on Physical AI and international expansion, including growth in the US, Oana also explores the broader landscape of warehouse robotics in Europe. The conversation tackles critical questions about the future of work: How can robotics and AI augment human roles rather than replace them? What responsibilities should remain uniquely human, and which tasks are better suited to machines? Oana also addresses the ethical implications of AI in robotics, emphasizing the importance of building unbiased, transparent systems and the industry’s blind spots in this area. Beyond technology and scaling, Oana advocates for making robotics a more inclusive and attractive career path. She challenges the outdated stereotype of robotics as a male-dominated field, highlighting the diverse roles - from data science to commercial strategy- that define the industry today.
