About

At Skild AI, we're building the world's first foundation model for robotics - a universal robot brain that can control arms, humanoids, and quadrupeds alike. Founded in 2023 by Carnegie Mellon professors Deepak Pathak and Abhinav Gupta, our team combines deep academic research with a relentless drive to bring physically-grounded intelligence to the real world. We believe in tackling robotics' hardest problems through massive simulation and cutting-edge machine learning, creating systems that learn from observation and adapt instantly to new bodies and environments.

We work at the intersection of robotics, computer vision, and deep learning, attracting engineers and researchers who want to see their algorithms operate in the physical world, not just on servers. Our team values technical excellence, collaborative problem-solving, and the ambition to build what OpenAI has done for digital intelligence - but for robots. Backed by $300M in Series A funding and partners including NVIDIA and Amazon, we're moving fast to create the omni-bodied intelligence that will transform industries from manufacturing to logistics.
