Former Alphabet 'moonshot' robotics company Intrinsic is folding into Google

Alphabet is folding its robotics software company Intrinsic into Google to streamline its business. Intrinsic developed Flowstate, a web-based platform that lets users build robotic applications without writing thousands of lines of code, addressing the challenge that programming robots remains extremely complex despite hardware becoming cheaper. By joining Google, Intrinsic will use Google's AI models and infrastructure to expand its industrial robotics platform for manufacturing and logistics.
