Positioning

Skild AI is a US robot-foundation-model lab whose omni-bodied Skild Brain trains cross-embodiment from human video and simulation, still at research and platform stage with no production units. It raised a $1.4B round in March 2026 at a $14-15B valuation (SoftBank-led, with NVentures, Bezos Expeditions, and Macquarie), for ~$1.7-2B cumulative since its 2023 founding. It is pre-revenue.
