AI computer vision firm RealSense has officially completed its spin-out from Intel Corporation, backed by a $50 million Series A funding round. The round was led by an unnamed semiconductor-focused private equity firm, with participation from Intel Capital and the MediaTek Innovation Fund.
Founded and incubated within Intel, RealSense was known for its depth camera technology used across robotics, security, industrial automation, healthcare, and other sectors. With this spin-out, RealSense becomes an independent company, aiming to scale innovation in AI, robotics, biometrics, and computer vision.
CEO Nadav Orbach, formerly Intel VP, emphasized that the company’s newfound independence enables faster execution and bold innovation. “Our systems are built to amplify human potential by removing danger and drudgery from work,” he said. Orbach is joined by a team of former Intel veterans, including Eyal Rond (VP of AI), Mark Yahiro (VP of Business Development), and Guy Halperin (VP, R&D).
The capital will be used to expand RealSense’s go-to-market strategy, hire AI and robotics engineers, and target high-growth markets. The company cites a global robotics market expected to quadruple to $200B by 2030, driven by a surge in demand for humanoid robots and physical AI.
RealSense already works with clients like ANYbotics, Fit:Match, Eyesynth, and Unitree Robotics, and aims to push into adjacent verticals under its new structure.
