Brain
Skild AI's unified omni-bodied foundation model. Designed to control any robot without prior knowledge of body form (quadrupeds, humanoids, tabletop arms, mobile manipulators). Trained on online human videos and physics simulations across thousands of form factors. Built-in force-limiting safety constraints. Skild AI builds the robot brain, not hardware; platform strategy is to power other companies' robots.
