Intel Completes RealSense Spinout, Raises $50M to Expand Autonomous Robotics and AI Solutions

Intel has completed the spinout of RealSense, securing $50 million to expand its reach in autonomous robotics and AI solutions. Analyst consensus indicates a "Hold" status for Intel, with an average target price below the current market value. Intel's GF Value suggests a slight potential upside, reinforcing its current market standing.

Intel has completed the spinout of its artificial intelligence robotics and biometric venture, RealSense, securing $50 million in funding to expand its reach in autonomous robotics and AI solutions. The new company, RealSense, was announced on July 11, 2025, alongside a $50 million Series A funding round that includes MediaTek Innovation Fund and Intel Capital [1].

RealSense, formerly known as Intel Perceptual Computing, was created more than a decade ago to investigate 3D vision technology and launched its first product in 2015. The company employs about 130 people across the U.S., Israel, and China and caters to autonomous robot manufacturers such as Eyesynth and Unitree Robotics. Nadav Orbach, Intel's current vice president and general manager for incubation and disruptive innovation, will serve as CEO of RealSense [1].

The funding will be used to develop new product lines and meet growing demand worldwide. Orbach stated, "The timing is now for physical AI. We want to develop new product lines. We see the demand and we see the need, and with where it's at right now, the right thing for us was to raise external funds" [1].

Analyst consensus indicates a "Hold" status for Intel, with an average target price below the current market value. Intel's GF Value suggests a slight potential upside, reinforcing its current market standing. The spinout of RealSense is part of Intel's strategy to focus on its core competencies and divest non-core businesses [1].

Companies across the globe have ramped up investment in the burgeoning robotics space as AI use cases expand. Morgan Stanley expects the market for humanoid robots to hit $5 trillion by 2050 as tech companies, including Tesla and Amazon, bet big on the technology and automation [1].
