After Intel exit, RealSense maps its own future in 3D vision
RealSense, a company specializing in 3D depth cameras for robotics, has officially spun out from Intel Corp. as an independent entity, backed by $50 million in funding from Intel Capital and MediaTek Innovation Fund. This move follows a period of uncertainty after Intel initially announced winding down RealSense in 2021 but later reversed course. The new RealSense company has 130 employees, mostly former Intel staff who received stock options to incentivize retention and attract talent. CEO Nadav Orbach, a long-time Intel veteran, positions RealSense as a nimble startup focused on providing advanced vision tools that enable robots to better understand and navigate their environments. RealSense’s technology is already embedded in thousands of robots, including autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), robot arms, and humanoids, with a customer base exceeding 3,000 and partnerships covering 60% of AMR and humanoid developers. The company is intensifying its focus on software, particularly in visual SLAM for navigation and

Inbolt, a Paris-based developer of real-time robot guidance systems, is expanding its operations to the U.S. and Japan, aiming to replicate its European market success where it serves major manufacturers like Stellantis, Renault, Volkswagen, Ford, and Beko. Founded in 2019, Inbolt’s GuideNOW system combines a 3D camera, AI-driven real-time workpiece localization, and software integration to enable industrial robots to adapt dynamically to changing environments. The system supports fast part localization and trajectory adjustments, integrates with major robot brands (FANUC, ABB, KUKA, Universal Robots), and eliminates the need for costly sensors or rigid setups. Inbolt reports deployment in over 50 factories worldwide and claims significant customer benefits, including up to 97% reduction in downtime and 80% fewer part rejections. The company is accelerating its global expansion backed by a $17 million Series A funding round in 2024, establishing local teams in Detroit and Tokyo to tap into growing
