Our take
Intrinsic believes access to automation through robotics is critical to the future of humanity. With this as its mission, the start-up is building a software platform for intelligent robotics in order to make them accessible and usable.
The company has made a series of acquisitions including of Akasha Imaging, fellow software company Vicarious - that 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 democratizing robotics.
Still relatively new to the game - the company was founded in 2021 - Intrinsic appears to remain focussed on building out its operations, including by continuing to recruit quality experts as well as working with leading roboticists on product development.
