Alphabet’s X R&D lab’s next big project is industrial robotics. Its new early-stage company, Intrinsic, is a robotics software and AI company that aims to help robots sense and learn, making them more adaptable to different environments.<\/p>\n\n\n

After five and a half years of developing its technology at X, Intrinsic will launch as an independent Alphabet company to further develop and validate its product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company is now looking for partners in the automotive, electronics and healthcare industries that use industrial robotics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wendy Tan-White, the CEO, says: “The surprisingly manual and bespoke process of teaching robots how to do things, which hasn’t changed much over the last few decades, is currently a cap on their potential to help more businesses.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tan-White joined X two and a half years ago after working as a partner at BGF Ventures, a capital growth fund, and as a general partner at Entrepreneur First, a global technology investor in AI, robotics and biotech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She was co-founder and CEO of Moonfruit, the world’s first SAAS website builder platform. She has also been involved in the creation of Zopa.com, the first European peer-to-peer lending site, and Egg.com, the first U.K. internet bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intrinsic’s top management also includes leading roboticists and AI experts such as CTO Torsten Kroeger, Engelberger Award winner Martin Haegele, robotics innovator Rainer Bischoff and reinforcement learning expert Stefan Schaal.<\/p>\n\n\n
