SoftBank Group and Nvidia are reportedly in advanced negotiations to lead a significant investment of over $1 billion in Skild AI. This potential funding round places the software company's valuation at an impressive $14 billion.
Skild AI, a relatively young startup, has distinguished itself by not pursuing proprietary hardware. Instead, it is developing a versatile, robot-agnostic foundational model that can be adapted for various robotic platforms and use cases.
The company's general-purpose robot model, Skild Brain, was unveiled in July. Its strategic partnerships with LG CNS and Hewlett Packard Enterprise are further solidifying its position in the rapidly growing AI robotics sector, which has seen substantial investment in recent months.
