Skild AI has raised $60 million in funding, totaling $360 million and valuing the company at $1.5 billion. Founded in 2023, Skild aims to develop a universal AI operating system for robots, leveraging a large dataset of robotic interactions.

The new capital will expand its engineering team and enhance simulation capabilities for generating training data. The robotics sector is experiencing significant investment, with competitors like Google DeepMind and Tesla pursuing similar goals.

Skild's strategy could enable it to license its AI model to robot manufacturers or adopt a robotics-as-a-service model. The next few years are critical as hardware costs decline and AI capabilities improve.
