More than 60 companies now use Skild AI's general-purpose AI brain across hundreds of robots in factories, warehouses, hospitals, and homes. The robotics startup reached a $100 million recurring revenue run rate within 10 months of starting commercial deployments, scaling from eight clients at the start of the year.

The company raised $1.4 billion and achieved a $14 billion valuation in January, following a partnership with Nvidia and Foxconn for automation at a Houston chip factory. Its S1 model enables humanoid robots to learn tasks exceeding 10 minutes by watching human demonstrations, which allows manufacturers to revise assembly sequences without manual data collection.
