Skild AI Secures $1.4B Funding Led by Nvidia and SoftBank for Robotics Breakthrough
Skild AI, a Pittsburgh-based robotics startup, has closed a $1.4 billion funding round at a $14 billion valuation, with Nvidia's NVentures and SoftBank Investment Advisers leading the charge. The capital injection accelerates development of its Skild Brain platform—a universal operating system enabling robots to adapt dynamically to environmental changes without pre-programming.
The investor syndicate reads like a who's-who of tech finance: Macquarie Capital, Bezos Expeditions, and Salesforce Ventures joined semiconductor giant Samsung in backing the round. This convergence of chipmakers, cloud providers, and industrial capital signals strong institutional belief in embodied AI's commercial viability.
