Computer
vision technology firm RealSense said Friday it has completed its spinout from Intel
Corp and secured
$50 million in early-stage funding to accelerate expansion into the rapidly
growing robotics sector.
The
company develops cameras that enable machines and devices to perceive the world
in three dimensions, allowing them to "see" depth, interpret their
surroundings, and interact with their environment.
RealSense,
which is backed by Intel Capital, the MediaTek Innovation Fund, and other
strategic investors, is looking to capitalize on surging demand for computer
vision sensors that help robots navigate and understand complex environments.
The new
funding will be used to scale up manufacturing and expand global go-to-market
operations.
CEO
Nadav Orbach said the funding will also support research and development of AI
software and next-generation depth cameras, but the company declined to
disclose the valuation at which it raised funds.
"It's
true there are a lot of companies that like to be vertically integrated, and
several of those are customers of ours, and we work very closely with them. But
on the other hand, I have over 3,000 active customers today with a pretty wide
ecosystem play and pretty high growth year over year," CEO Nadav Orbach
told Reuters.
Its
newest camera, the D555, can transmit power and data via a single cable and
features built-in AI capabilities, enabling robots and security systems to
quickly understand their surroundings.
The
company says its depth cameras are embedded in 60% of the world's autonomous
mobile robots and humanoids, with clients including China's Unitree Robotics
and Switzerland's ANYbotics.
In
addition to robotics, RealSense is expanding into security systems that use
facial recognition, leveraging its own software tools for mapping environments
and identifying faces.
While
RealSense manufactures primarily in Thailand and Asia, its headquarters and
business operations remain in the U.S. Orbach said the company is open to
future IPO or acquisition opportunities but is focused on long-term growth.
