Intrinsic, a subsidiary of Google, announced at ROSCon 2026 in Toronto that it is open-sourcing the core components of its industrial robotics platform under the Apache 2.0 license and launching Intrinsic Core, a foundational software platform compatible with the Robot Operating System (ROS). Intrinsic said Intrinsic Core is a preconfigured ROS software environment that can run directly on local hardware, including a hardware-agnostic real-time robot control framework; it also provides an open reference design for AI-driven CNC machine tending tasks that can be modularly adjusted for different hardware configurations and supports equipment from major industrial robot manufacturers such as Universal Robots and FANUC.
