RealSense, a leading innovator in AI-powered computer vision, has marked two pivotal milestones: completing its spinout from Intel Corporation, supported by a $50 million Series A funding round, and announcing a strategic collaboration with NVIDIA to accelerate the adoption of physical AI in humanoids and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs).
“This collaboration cements RealSense’s role as the perception platform of choice for AMRs and humanoids,” said Nadav Orbach, CEO of RealSense. “Our independence from Intel and support from top investors give us the agility to innovate, while our work with NVIDIA accelerates the mainstream adoption of physical AI.”
A New Era of Innovation
RealSense is now an independent, venture-backed company, supported by a leading semiconductor private equity firm and strategic investors including Intel Capital and MediaTek Innovation Fund. The company is focused on advancing AI, robotics, biometrics, and computer vision. The Series A funding will drive global expansion, scaling manufacturing, sales, and go-to-market capabilities while exploring adjacent and emerging markets.
Through its partnership with NVIDIA, RealSense will integrate its industry-leading depth cameras with NVIDIA’s robotics platforms, including the Jetson Thor supercomputer for humanoids, NVIDIA Isaac Sim for digital twins, and NVIDIA Holoscan Sensor Bridge for ultra-low-latency IoT sensor streaming. By combining RealSense’s perception technology with NVIDIA’s AI compute capabilities, robotics developers can accelerate time-to-market, explore new applications, and scale safely into production. Native integration ensures high-fidelity sensor data and processing speed essential for next-generation humanoids and autonomous machines.
Driving Leadership in Robotics and AI Applications
RealSense’s global customer base exceeds 3,000, supported by over 80 patents. The company has established industry traction across robotics, industrial automation, security, healthcare, and “tech for good” initiatives, partnering with companies such as ANYbotics, Eyesynth, FIT:match, and Mobile Industrial Robots (MIR).
RealSense continues to enhance its product roadmap, including its acclaimed depth cameras, embedded in 60% of the world’s AMRs and 80% of humanoid robots. Its recently launched D555 depth camera, powered by the RealSense Vision SoC V5 and featuring Power over Ethernet (PoE), showcases the company’s 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. “We’re building systems that remove danger and drudgery from human work, amplifying human potential with intelligent, secure and reliable vision systems. With fresh investment, seasoned leadership and our collaboration with NVIDIA, RealSense is shaping the future of intelligent machines.”
The spinout and NVIDIA collaboration come at a time of rapid growth in robotics and biometrics. The global robotics market is projected to quadruple, from $50 billion today to over $200 billion within six years, while humanoid robots are expected to grow at a CAGR exceeding 40%. Meanwhile, facial biometrics are gaining mainstream adoption in applications such as airport security and event access.
