Since it was founded in 2023, the company has raised nearly $1.7 billion in funding to create a general-purpose robot brain. With S1, robots can learn new, complex tasks from watching a single video, Skild AI claimed. To do this, the company ‘s model uses in-context learning, Deepak Pathak , Skild AI co-founder and CEO, told The Robot Report . “You just add a video of a human doing something in the prompt, also called the context of the model, and it can just follow it on the robot,” Pathak said. “The tasks we are showing are extremely complex and long horizon. They are not three-second, four-second tasks, not those tiny, simple tasks.” Typically, when faced with new tasks, AI models on robots need to be post-trained to handle them. This can be a lengthy process, and it holds robotics back from scaling. According to Pathak, there are four kinds of robot training data, and Skild makes use of all of them. “If you look at any company out there, they are primarily focusing on one of these sources. But, if we think from first principles, we realize there is no golden path,” Pathak said. “We have to use all of them because the pros of one source compensates for the downside of another source.” “Human videos are diverse, but far...",
