About the Company

Skild AI

General-purpose robotic AI brain via API

Skild AI creates a general-purpose artificial intelligence brain for robots. It provides a prefabricated AI model that can be integrated into various general-purpose robots, delivered via an API, to enable high-level decision-making without building custom software from scratch. The product works as a ready-made AI brain embedded in a robotic platform (starting with a mobile manipulator) and exposed through an API so developers and manufacturers can add human-like planning and control capabilities to their robots. This solution differentiates itself by offering a reusable, domain-agnostic AI core for multiple robotics systems rather than bespoke software for each robot, helping to lower development costs and accelerate deployment. Skild AI’s goal is to make robotics development more accessible by supplying the AI brain as a core component to robotics manufacturers and developers who want to build advanced robotic applications quickly and at scale.
