Vicarious

Vicarious was an artificial intelligence company that built machine learning software modeled on principles of the brain's neocortex, such as its Recursive Cortical Network vision model. It later used this work to offer robots as a service, supplying AI-driven robots that automate industrial tasks too complex for traditional automation. Alphabet's robotics software company Intrinsic acquired the business in 2022.
