Can 100,000 NVIDIA GPUs Make Robots Think Like Humans?
Figure AI is planning an unprecedented datacenter buildout that could bring frontier AI supercomputer scale to humanoid robotics for the first time.
Skild AI is a robotics startup that’s building a general-purpose brain for robots, called Skild Brain, that adapts across different robot types and tasks. It’s designed so robots can learn skills like locomotion, manipulation, and navigation in complex environments without needing task-specific programming.
They launched publicly in 2024 after raising $300 million in Series A funding with a valuation around $1.5 billion. Backers include Amazon, SoftBank, Lightspeed, and other major VCs. Skild’s approach involves training in simulation and using real robot feedback to generalize skills across embodiments.
