RealSense has spun out from Intel, raising $50 million to grow its AI-driven robotics and biometrics business
RealSense, a computer vision hardware and software entity, has officially separated from Intel Corporation (INTC) to establish itself as an independent technology firm focused on AI-driven solutions in robotics, biometrics, and security.
As part of its spin-off, the San Francisco-based company has secured $50 million in Series A funding, marking a new chapter in its growth journey.
Following the news, Intel stock inched 0.8% lower in Friday's premarket. However, on Stocktwits, retail sentiment toward Intel remained in ‘bullish’ territory.
The funding round was led by a major semiconductor-focused private equity group, with participation from strategic players including Intel Capital and the MediaTek Innovation Fund.
The company said the new capital will help it scale its operations globally and expand into emerging markets, including humanoid robotics and AI-powered security systems.
Serving a global client base of over 3,000 and holding more than 80 patents, RealSense aims to strengthen its position in the embedded vision space.
RealSense’s latest D555 depth camera is equipped with Power over Ethernet and is driven by its fifth-generation RealSense Vision SoC.
RealSense’s depth perception technology is currently integrated into nearly 60% of humanoid and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) worldwide.
“Our mission is to enable the world to integrate robotics and AI in everyday life safely,” said CEO Nadav Orbach. “This technology is not about replacing human creativity or decision-making — but about removing danger and drudgery from human work.
The global robotics market is anticipated to surpass $200 billion within six years, with humanoid robotics expected to grow at a compound annual rate exceeding 40%.
RealSense aims to capture a share of this expansion by hiring engineers and growing its go-to-market (GTM) team.
