Robotics startup Skild AI has introduced an artificial intelligence (AI) model it says can run on almost any robot.
The AI model, known as “Skild Brain,” lets robots — from humanoids to table-top arms — think, function and respond more like humans, the company said on its blog Tuesday (July 29).
“One of the biggest challenges in building a robotics foundation model is the lack of any large-scale robotics data,” the company wrote. “And to make matters worse, collecting real-world data using hardware is slow and prohibitively expensive.”
That’s led many researchers and competitors to skirt the problem by starting with an existing vision-and-language model (VLM) and add in less than 1% of real-world robot data to create a “robotics...
