Our take
Intrinsic believes access to automation through robotics is critical to the future of humanity. With this as its vision, the start-up is building a software platform for intelligent robotics to make them accessible and usable.
The company has made a series of acquisitions, including Akasha Imaging, fellow software company Vicarious, which received backing from the likes of Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, and robotics platform developer Open Robotics. These integrations have been a huge step forward for Intrinsic’s mission of democratising robotics.
Still relatively new to the game (the company was founded in 2021), Intrinsic appears to remain focused on building out its operations, including by continuing to recruit quality experts as well as working with leading roboticists on product development.
