Dexory, a provider of real-time warehouse intelligence, visibility and autonomous solutions, has raised $165 million.
This milestone reflects the value customers derive from the solution, resulting in strong growth since the company’s Series B in 2024.
Eurazeo, through its Growth team, led the $100 million Series C round, with participation from LTS Growth and Endeavor Catalyst, alongside existing investors DTCP, Atomico, Lakestar, Elaia, Latitude Ventures, Wave-X and others. In addition, Bootstrap Europe expanded the existing growth debt facility. [Read more…] about Warehouse automation startup Dexory raises $165 million in funding
Caracol, one of Europe’s fastest-growing deep-tech companies and a pioneer in large-format robotic manufacturing, today announced the closing of its $40 million Series B round, co-led by Omnes Capital, Move Capital Fund I, alongside CDP Venture Capital – Large Ventures Fund, which played a key role as a catalyst for international investors.
These international funds, together with leading Italian institutional investors, will accompany Caracol into its next phase of global growth, alongside continued backing from long-standing shareholders including Primo Capital SGR, Eureka! Venture SGR, and Neva SGR (the Intesa Sanpaolo Group’s venture capital company).
Caracol says that “thanks to a massive oversubscription”, this round also enabled some early investors to exit with significant returns, underscoring the strong appetite shown by institutional players to invest in the company’s next chapter.

Automation is reshaping the landscape of electronics manufacturing. Today, nine out of ten manufacturers have already integrated some form of artificial intelligence into their operations, and the smart factory software market is projected to reach $97 billion by 2028.
This rapid technological shift has arrived at a critical time for the industry.
Manufacturers face a persistent labor shortage, with an estimated 500,000 to 600,000 open positions that remain difficult to fill. As a result, automation and intelligent systems have moved from being optional upgrades to essential tools for survival and growth.

Yamaha Motor has established a new joint venture with Taiwanese company TOYO Automation to strengthen its position in the industrial robotics market and expand production capacity.
The company announced that the new company – TY Robotics Co., Ltd. – was officially founded in August 2025, with operations based at Yamaha’s Miyakoda office in Hamamatsu, Japan. Production is scheduled to begin in January 2026.
According to Yamaha, “the founding of this new company is part of Yamaha Motor’s overall industrial robot business strategy”. [Read more…] about Yamaha forms joint venture with Taiwan’s TOYO Automation to expand industrial robot lineup
At Texas A&M University, a modest building on the Rellis campus houses one of the most ambitious robotics programs in the United States.
Inside, robots are being built to explore craters on the Moon, traverse flooded terrain on Earth, and maybe one day change the way humans and machines work together in extreme environments.
Leading it all is Dr Robert Ambrose, a NASA veteran who spent decades at the Johnson Space Center before joining Texas A&M in 2021. [Read more…] about Engineering the future of robotics at Texas A&M
By Luca Bandiera, business development AGV manager, ZAPI GROUP
Labor optimization is increasingly relying on automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and automated mobile robots (AMRs). Offloading material handling tasks allows leaders to reallocate workers toward higher-value, more complex processes.
However, for OEMs and machine engineers, challenges remain, particularly in powertrain design. As AGVs and AMRs advance in capability and complexity, so must the powertrains that propel them.
Achieving sustainable next-generation drivetrains requires OEMs to choose between fully integrated powertrain systems and modular, component-based ones. This choice impacts every link in the handling chain, from supplier logistics to final installation. [Read more…] about Opinion: Next-generation AGV powertrains – unlocking efficiency and sustainability in automated material handling
When most people think of robotic surgery, they picture large machines assisting with major operations, but ForSight Robotics is applying that same precision to one of the smallest and most delicate parts of the human body: the eye.
Founded in 2020 by Dr Joseph Nathan, Professor Moshe Shoham, and Dr Daniel Glozman, ForSight Robotics is developing Oryom, the world’s first robotic system designed specifically for eye surgery.
The platform aims to perform complex procedures such as cataract removal with micron-level precision, using robotic instruments controlled through AI and advanced computer vision. [Read more…] about Interview with co-founder of ForSight Robotics: ‘Cataract prevalence is expected to double by 2050’
It’s harder to avoid AI in marketing than to integrate it into your campaign – and there’s no need to shy away from it!
In fact, embracing AI and delegating part of your workload to it can give you a competitive edge.
With the right approach, AI can significantly boost your marketing efficiency, reduce costs, and improve results. [Read more…] about Unpacking the Benefits of AI in Marketing: A Detailed Exploration
