Intrinsic examined its newest platform and Flowstate with Comau, an Italian-based robotic producer and world techniques integrator. Comau has been working with Intrinsic for a number of years now to validate Intrinsic’s platform expertise and developer product, Flowstate, by way of real-world use circumstances.
Flowstate, introduced earlier this yr in May, is a robotic software program improvement platform. It’s Intrinsic’s first developer product constructed on the Intrinsic platform. Comau was additionally launched as the corporate’s first business accomplice in May.
The Intrinsic Flowstate software program provides a layer of abstraction to conventional robotic software program instruments with the objective of decreasing the event skillset required whereas making it simpler than ever earlier than to program a robotic in simulation.
“Partnering with Comau over the years has brought our team a tremendous amount of expertise, knowledge, and real-world use cases to focus our efforts on. We’re excited for what’s next and what it will mean to the solution builders of today and tomorrow,” Wendy Tan White, CEO of Intrinsic, stated.

Comau now makes use of Flowstate and the Intrinsic platform for quite a lot of initiatives. For instance, Comau is utilizing the platform to assemble the inflexible parts of a plug-in hybrid electrical car (PHEV) tremendous module. Supermodules are compact power converters that assist electrical vehicles to be charged and operated extra effectively for higher vary and efficiency.
“To continue to grow into the future, we need to constantly pursue opportunities to more efficiently serve our existing customers … but also bring in the next software innovations to address new industries such as renewable energy, battery production, and logistics. We believe that Intrinsic Flowstate will make it much faster to design, program, and reprogram robotic work cells, saving hundreds of manual programming hours on every project,” Pietro Gorlier, CEO of Comau, stated throughout Intrinsic’s product keynote earlier this yr.
Comau’s imaginative and prescient is to assist system builders leverage software program to unravel tough issues in useful methods. Intrinsic’s platforms empower extra of Comau’s crew, together with builders, to construct AI-infused techniques quicker and in a extra scalable approach. This means Comau can provide extra modular and reasonably priced techniques to its clients over time.
In December, Intrinsic introduced it had acquired the Open Source Robotics Corporation (OSRC), the for-profit arm of the Open Source Robotics Foundation, which is the developer of the Robot Operating System (ROS).
