Intrinsic acquires fellow robotic software firm Vicarious – TechCrunch

Alphabet X-birthed Intrinsic made its big debut last September. The subsidiary looks to buck its parent company's somewhat spotty robotics record with a software-first approach. Specifically, the company is looking to make manufacturing robots more intelligent -- a concept that no doubt excites many in the space amid pandemic-fueled demand for automation. Today it made its second big piece of news: an acquisition. Intrinsic is acquiring fellow AI/robotic intelligence firm Vicarious.
