LAS VEGAS and PARIS, April 21, 2026 — Intel Corporation and Outsight, the global leader in 3D Spatial Intelligence, whose platform equips some of the world’s largest international airports, train stations, hospitals and venues, announced a strategic collaboration to accelerate the deployment of physical AI solutions for real-time people and objects flow monitoring at enterprise scale.
As part of this collaboration, Outsight’s Shift platform has been integrated into the latest version of Google Distributed Cloud (GDC) Edge, combining Intel Xeon 6 SoC with AMX (Advanced Matrix Extensions) for accelerated CPU-based inferencing and Outsight’s advanced 3D real-time processing platform to deliver turnkey physical AI capabilities directly at the edge of enterprise networks.
A live demonstration of the integrated solution will be showcased at the Intel booth (#6901) during Google Cloud Next 2026, taking place April 22–24 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas.
Bringing physical AI to enterprise infrastructure
The collaboration addresses the growing demand from operators of airports, train stations, industrial facilities, smart cities and large venues for real-time, privacy-preserving intelligence about how people, robots and vehicles move through their physical environments.
Outsight’s physical AI software processes data from 3D LiDAR sensors, combined with multiple data sources including camera and business data systems (e.g. AODB, PoS), to continuously track the movement of people and objects. These insights are delivered through motional digital twins, real-time 3D digital replicas of physical flows that serve as the operational interface through which end users monitor, analyze, predict and optimize their environments. By running natively on Xeon 6 SoC processors without requiring power-intensive GPUs, the solution delivers cost-effective, scalable 3D AI inference at the edge.
The integration into Google Distributed Cloud Edge enables enterprise customers to deploy the Shift platform as a managed, cloud-connected edge workload, benefiting from streamlined operations, centralized management and Google Cloud’s security and scalability framework.
Raising the bar: Global situation awareness for robots
The integrated solution goes beyond people and vehicle flow monitoring by enabling global situation awareness, a shared, real-time representation of reality with temporal and spatial continuity, available to all operators and mobile robots on site.
In complex environments such as factories, warehouses and airports, mobile robots are inherently limited by their onboard sensors and available processing: blind spots, occlusions and instantaneous perception prevent them from understanding what lies beyond their immediate field of view. Motional digital twins solve this by providing an infrastructure-level intelligence layer that continuously tracks every person, vehicle and object across the entire premises, assigning a unique anonymous ID maintained over time. In effect, the infrastructure becomes a global sensor and intelligence layer, giving each robot the capability to see and understand everything happening across the site, in real time.
This enables three foundational capabilities for robotics and operations:
- Continuous individual tracking: precisely positions each person or object across large distances without interruption, overcoming the limitation of visual line-of-sight and making every position immediately available to all robots and operators on site.
- Situational awareness: perceiving the environment globally, beyond the line of sight of each individual robot, and associating external data, event history and attributes with each tracked entity.
- Actionable insights and prediction: interpreting situations at scale, deriving decision-ready intelligence and anticipating future states across the entire premises.
Live demonstration at Google Cloud Next 2026
At Google Cloud Next 2026, Intel and Outsight will present a live, full-scale demonstration of the integrated physical AI solution at Intel’s booth. Attendees will experience firsthand how the platform processes millions of 3D data points per second to detect, classify and track individuals and objects in real time, all while preserving privacy through anonymous, non-image-based sensing.
The demonstration will showcase key capabilities including real-time crowd density monitoring, queue management analytics, flow visualization through a live motional digital twin and predictive operational insights, all running on Intel-powered edge infrastructure within the Google Distributed Cloud framework.
Industry perspectives
“This strategic collaboration with Intel represents a major milestone in making physical AI accessible at scale across critical infrastructure worldwide. By integrating our Shift platform into Google Distributed Cloud Edge, powered by Intel’s processors, we are enabling operators of airports, stations, factories and smart cities to deploy a real-time 3D replica of everything moving across their premises, while providing global situation awareness to mobile robots, as a standard component of their edge infrastructure. Together, we are setting a new standard for how organizations understand and optimize the physical world," said Raul Bravo, president and co-founder, Outsight.
“Enterprise AI is about bringing intelligence closer to where decisions are made, at the edge. Our collaboration with Outsight demonstrates how Intel’s edge computing platform, combined with best-in-class physical AI software and the Google Distributed Cloud, enables organizations to transform their physical operations with real-time, CPU-based 3D AI inference. This is exactly the kind of scalable, cost-effective solution that enterprises need to unlock the full potential of physical AI," said Bhupesh Agrawal, general manager, Private 5G and Enterprise AI, Intel.
