RealSense Spins Out from Intel with $50M to Scale Vision AI for Robotics and Biometrics

- RealSense has spun out from Intel and raised $50 million in Series A funding from Intel Capital, MediaTek Innovation Fund, and others.
- The company will use the funds to expand manufacturing, sales, and global reach for robotics, biometrics, and computer vision.
RealSense announced it has completed its spinout from Intel and raised $50 million in Series A financing. The round was led by a semiconductor private equity firm with participation from Intel Capital and MediaTek Innovation Fund. RealSense now operates independently, focused on AI vision systems for robotics and biometrics.
The new capital will help scale RealSense’s global manufacturing and sales capabilities and support expansion into adjacent markets. The company’s depth cameras are embedded in 60% of autonomous mobile robots and humanoid robots worldwide—a fast-growing segment—and are used across robotics, automation, security, and healthcare.
“Our mission is to enable the world to integrate robotics and AI in everyday life safely,” said Nadav Orbach, CEO of RealSense, in an official press release. “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 serves over 3,000 customers globally and holds more than 80 patents. Its recently launched D555 depth camera, built on the RealSense Vision SoC V5 and featuring Power over Ethernet, exemplifies its continued focus on embedded vision and edge AI. The company is growing its GTM team and hiring additional AI, robotics, and software engineers to meet market demand.
