RealSense finalizes Intel spinout, raises $50 million

RealSense

RealSense completed its spinout from Intel and secured $50M in Series A funding.

AI-powered computer vision developer RealSense announced its successful spinout from Intel Corporation and the close of a $50 million Series A funding round.

With investment led by a semiconductor private equity firm and participation from strategic investors, including Intel Capital and MediaTek Innovation Fund, RealSense now operates as an independent company focused on advancing innovation in AI, robotics, biometrics and computer vision.

New funding leads RealSense expansion

RealSense said that the new capital will fuel its expansion into adjacent and emerging markets and scale its manufacturing, sales and go-to-market (GTM) global presence to meet increased demand for humanoid and autonomous mobile robotics (AMRs) as well as AI-powered access control and security offerings.

“We’re excited to build on our leadership position in 3D perception in robotics and see scalable growth potential in the rise of physical AI,” said Nadav Orbach, CEO of RealSense. "Our independence allows us to move faster and innovate more boldly to adapt to rapidly changing market dynamics as we lead the charge in AI innovation and the coming robotics renaissance.”

RealSense said it’s brought numerous proven products to market across robotics, industrial automation, security, healthcare and “tech for good” initiatives, including partnerships with companies like ANYbotics, Eyesynth, Fit:Match and Unitree Robotics.

RealSense said it will continue to support its existing customer base and product roadmap, including the RealSense depth cameras. The company said that its depth cameras are embedded in 60% of the world’s AMRs and humanoid robots, an incredibly fast-growing segment.

It recently launched the D555 depth camera, powered by the next-gen RealSense Vision SoC V5 and featuring Power over Ethernet (PoE). RealSense said this demonstrates the company’s ongoing leadership in embedded vision technology and edge AI capabilities.

“Our mission is to enable the world to integrate robotics and AI in everyday life safely,” Orbach said. “This technology is not about replacing human creativity or decision-making, but about removing danger and drudgery from human work. Our systems are built to amplify human potential by offloading these types of tasks to machines equipped with intelligent, secure and reliable vision systems.”

RealSense said it has developed robust, global manufacturing technology capabilities to ensure consistent quality and product performance, working with a broad network of vision system distributors and value-added resellers. The company has over 3,000 customers worldwide, with over 80 global patents.

RealSense founding team announced

RealSense’s founding team brings together veteran technologists and business leaders with deep expertise in computer vision, AI, robotics and market development.

The team includes:

  • Nadav Orbach - Chief Executive Officer
  • Mark Yahiro - Vice President, Business Development
  • Mike Nielsen - Vice President, Marketing
  • Fred Angelopoulos - Vice President, Sales
  • Guy Halperin - Vice President, Head of R&D
  • Eyal Rond - Vice President, AI and Computer Vision
  • Joel Hagberg - Vice President, Product
  • Ilan Ofek - Vice President, New Product Introduction and Manufacturing
  • Chris Matthieu - Chief Developer Evangelist

To meet global demand, RealSense plans to expand its GTM team and hire additional AI, software and robotics engineers to accelerate product development.
