Intrinsic open-sources its physical-AI core

Intrinsic open-sourced Intrinsic Core after its first AI for Industry challenge drew 5,000+ developers and roboticists across 115 countries. The official release describes a ROS-compatible stack with hardware-agnostic real-time control, 6-DoF pose estimation, motion and grasp planning, simulation, camera calibration, and drivers; the public repository identifies Apache 2.0 licensing. Robotics teams should compare this ready-made control layer with Tau’s $30 robot-cleaning pilot before building another bespoke stack—the license lowers integration cost, not validation risk.
