Skild AI Surges to $14 Billion Valuation in Revolutionary Robotics Software Sector
Skild AI has experienced remarkable growth, achieving a valuation exceeding $14 billion in the competitive robotics software market, as reported by Bloomberg. This rapid escalation comes just seven months after the startup was valued at $4.5 billion following a funding round rumored to involve around $500 million.
The latest $1.4 billion Series C funding round, spearheaded by SoftBank, also saw contributions from major investors like Nvidia, Macquarie Group, and 1789 Capital, among others, bringing Skild AI’s total funding to over $2 billion to date.
Founded in 2023, Skild AI specializes in developing versatile robotic software and foundational models capable of being adapted for various robots and tasks with minimal additional training. The company aims to enhance the learning capabilities of these models by enabling them to observe and learn from human actions.
Key Factors Driving Skild AI’s Valuation Increase:
– Significant investment from prominent firms, highlighting confidence in Skild AI’s technology.
– Demand for adaptable robotic software as industries seek more flexible automation solutions.
– The potential for models that can learn incrementally, addressing major barriers to robot adoption across both personal and industrial applications.
As interest in humanoid robots and adaptive software grows, Skild AI is positioned at the forefront of this technological evolution, along with competitors like Field AI and 1X, who are also exploring efficient adaptable robotic solutions.
