Nvidia and Samsung are planning to invest in Skild AI, a robotics startup focused on creating a 'general-purpose brain' for robots. Skild AI, founded in 2023 by former Carnegie Mellon professors, is developing a scalable robotics foundation model designed to enable adaptability across different hardware platforms and environments. Their AI model aims to allow robots to learn and adapt to new tasks without pre-programmed instructions, enhancing their ability to navigate, manipulate objects, and interact with surroundings.
Skild AI's approach differs from traditional robotics, where software is purpose-built for specific robots. Instead, they are developing the 'Skild Brain,' an AI-driven solution that dynamically collects data in real-time. This investment by Nvidia and Samsung highlights the growing interest in AI-driven robotics and Skild AI's potential to transform the industry by creating adaptable and intelligent robots for various applications, including construction, manufacturing, and security.
