One model across robot hardware

Skild Brain learns from simulation, human-action video, teleoperation and live robot deployments. The company applies the same model across different machines instead of engineering separate control software for every robot and task.

Deployment feeds further training

Robots operating in warehouses, construction, delivery and other settings generate data for post-training. The new capital will expand data collection, foundational model research and commercial deployments; the financing values Skild AI at more than $14 billion.
