Alphabet-Owned Robotics Software Company Intrinsic Joins Google

Intrinsic will collaborate with Google DeepMind and use Gemini AI models to enhance industrial robotics software, aiming for broader manufacturing automation and competitiveness.

  • On Wednesday, Alphabet-owned Intrinsic announced it is joining Google LLC as a distinct group while working closely with Google DeepMind and using Gemini AI models and Google Cloud.
  • Seeking to accelerate factory automation, Google is folding Intrinsic to combine its robotics software with Google's AI and cloud, linking it to a Foxconn joint venture.
  • Born inside X, Intrinsic graduated in 2021 and expanded by acquiring Vicarious and Open Robotics divisions while releasing Flowstate and an Intrinsic Vision AI model, despite cutting 20% of its workforce in January 2023.
  • By folding Intrinsic into Google, the company elevates the platform to a core enterprise priority to better compete with Amazon and Tesla and scale products in manufacturing and logistics sectors.
  • Industry momentum around physical AI suggests Alphabet's moves follow an antitrust complaint earlier this month and DeepMind's 2023 investment in robotics, showing broader industry and regulatory trends.
