Skild AI said it has raised close to $1.4 billion in funding led by SoftBank Group, with participation from NVentures, Macquarie Capital, Jeff Bezos, and multiple strategic investors including Samsung, LG, and Salesforce Ventures. The financing values the robotics-focused AI company at more than $14 billion.
The round follows earlier reports that SoftBank and Nvidia were in talks to invest up to $1 billion in Skild AI, highlighting strong investor appetite for foundation models designed for humanoid and multi-purpose robotics. Existing backers including Lightspeed, Felicis, Coatue, and Sequoia Capital increased their stakes.
Skild AI is developing the Skild Brain, an omni-bodied robotics foundation model that can control a wide range of robots without prior knowledge of their physical design. The model is trained using large-scale video data and physics-based simulations, allowing robots to adapt in real time to new environments, hardware failures, or changes in payload through in-context learning.
The company said it generated roughly $30 million in revenue within months in 2025 and is deploying its technology across logistics, manufacturing, inspection, and construction. The new capital will support expanded model training and broader commercial deployments.
