Skild AI

Skild AI is building a general-purpose robotic intelligence platform — the Skild Brain — that enables any robot to perceive, act, and adapt across diverse hardware and tasks without task-specific programming. Founded in 2023 by Carnegie Mellon professors Deepak Pathak and Abhinav Gupta, the company uses large-scale data-driven machine learning to break the data barrier in robotics. Backed by Lightspeed, Coatue, SoftBank, Sequoia, Amazon, and Jeff Bezos, Skild has raised over $2B and is valued at $14B.
