SAN FRANCISCO, July 11, 2025—(Business Wire)—RealSense, a pioneer in AI-powered computer vision, today announced its successful spinout from Intel Corporation and the close of a $50 million Series A funding round. With investment led by a renowned semiconductor private equity firm and participation from strategic investors, including Intel Capital and MediaTek Innovation Fund, RealSense now operates as an independent company focused on advancing innovation in AI, robotics, biometrics, and computer vision.

The new capital will fuel RealSense’s expansion into adjacent and emerging markets and scale its manufacturing, sales, and go-to-market (GTM) global presence to meet increased demand for humanoid and autonomous mobile robotics (AMRs), as well as AI-powered access control and security solutions.

“We’re excited to build on our leadership position in 3D perception in robotics and see scalable growth potential in the rise of physical AI,” said Nadav Orbach, CEO of RealSense. “Our independence allows us to move faster and innovate more boldly to adapt to rapidly changing market dynamics as we lead the charge in AI innovation and the coming robotics renaissance.”

RealSense brings to market proven industry traction across robotics, industrial automation, security, healthcare, and “tech for good” initiatives, including partnerships with companies like ANYbotics, Eyesynth, Fit:Match, and Unitree Robotics.

RealSense will continue to support its existing customer base and product roadmap, including the acclaimed RealSense depth cameras, which are embedded in 60% of the world’s AMRs and humanoid robots—an incredibly fast-growing segment. Its recently launched D555 depth camera, powered by the next-gen RealSense Vision SoC V5 and featuring Power over Ethernet (PoE), demonstrates the company’s ongoing leadership in embedded vision technology and edge AI capabilities.

“Our mission is to enable the world to integrate robotics and AI in everyday life safely,” said Orbach. “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 has developed robust, global manufacturing technology capabilities to ensure consistent quality and product performance, working with a broad network of vision system distributors and value-added resellers. The company has over 3,000 customers worldwide and boasts over 80 global patents.
