Skild faces real-world test of its robot brain in Nvidia, Foxconn factory deal. As Pittsburgh pushes to lead in physical AI, the partnership creates a major proving ground for automation in advanced manufacturing. Pittsburgh startup Skild AI will soon put its AI robot brain to the test as part of a deal with Nvidia and several companies specializing in advanced manufacturing. In partnership with electronics manufacturer Foxconn, Skild will deploy its AI model on the robotic assembly lines that build Nvidia's Blackwell GPU server systems in Houston, Texas. The large-scale deployment will help accelerate the startup's "data flywheel" - a self-reinforcing cycle in which the more tasks the robots perform, the more real-world data Skild's AI model collects, which in turn makes the model smarter and more capable over time, according to the company. "By training an omni-bodied intelligence that transfers skills across embodiments and environments, we're shifting from programming tasks to building systems that continuously learn and improve, even during deployment," Deepak Pathak, CEO of Skild AI, said in the announcement. The East Liberty-based unicorn is building a general-purpose AI model designed to power a wide range of robots and tasks with a single system. Its tech has attracted major investment since it launched in 2023, including a $1.4 billion raise in January that...
