Alphabet launches 'Intrinsic' for industrial robot development

[Asia Economy Reporter Yujin Cho] Alphabet, Google's parent company, announced on the 23rd (local time) that it has launched an industrial robot software developer called 'Intrinsic.'

Intrinsic's CEO Wendy Tan-White said in a blog post that day, "We will unlock the creative and economic potential of industrial robots for millions more businesses, entrepreneurs, and developers."

Intrinsic develops software that can be used with industrial robots employed in manufacturers' production lines or logistics warehouses.

It started as a business unit within X, Alphabet's moonshot subsidiary pursuing innovative projects, and has now become an independent corporation.

X, established in 2010 with the goal of solving major problems facing humanity, focuses on autonomous driving through its division Waymo, delivery drones, internet balloons, and more.

Robotics is also a major interest of X; in 2013, it acquired six robotics startups, but all were either sold off or shut down.
