Alphabet’s robotics software company Intrinsic folding into Google

Google acquires former moonshot robotics software company Intrinsic Alphabet is trying to streamline its goals in space.

Intrinsic became an independent Alphabet company in July 2021 under the “Other Bets” section, after five and a half years of developing its technology at Alphabet’s “moonshot factory” X. Google’s parent company announced It will be folded into Google on Wednesday.

Although hardware such as robotic arms has become cheaper, programming them remains incredibly complex and often requires hundreds of hours of manual coding by expert engineers, which can vary depending on the specific robot.

Intrinsic’s flagship product, Flowstate, is a web-based platform that allows users to create robotic applications without having to write thousands of lines of code.

“Joining Google allows us to strengthen our collective work across border AI, spanning R&D to distribution and daily operations enabling industrial use cases in manufacturing and logistics,” the company said in its announcement. he said.

The company added that the platform will use Gemini models and Cloud and will work closely with Google DeepMind.

This shift moves the software platform to a key corporate priority; so Google can better compete with rivals such as: Amazon And Tesla’s. This also shows that the company is ready to scale its products while working more closely with Google’s AI teams.

Internal and Inner in November Nvidia supplier Foxconn announced A partnership to deploy AI robots to assemble electronics in Foxconn’s US factories.

Using its AI and infrastructure, Google can “unlock the promise of physical AI for a much broader set of manufacturing businesses and developers,” Intrinsic CEO Wendy Tan White said in Wednesday’s announcement.
