SiliconANGLE reports that Intrinsic, Alphabet’s intelligent robotics software company, announced at ROSCon 2026 in Toronto that it is open-sourcing the core of its industrial robotics platform under the Apache 2.0 license. Intrinsic Core is a preconfigured, ROS-compatible environment that runs on local hardware and bundles capabilities such as pose estimation, motion and grasp planning, simulation via Gazebo, camera calibration, and ROS drivers, released alongside an Open Machine Tending Solution reference design for CNC machine tending. Intrinsic CTO Brian Gerkey, a co-founder and board chair of Open Robotics, told The Robot Report that the company depends on the same stack and called the release a durable commitment rather than a code drop; Intrinsic acquired Open Robotics’ for-profit arm OSRC in 2022.
