US EditionSkild AI, Nvidia deploy robot brain on Blackwell assembly lines
Skild AI uses NVIDIA's physical AI technology to enable adaptable robot automation on Foxconn's Houston assembly lines, advancing reshoring and complex system production.
- On Monday, Skild AI announced its artificial intelligence model will power robots at Foxconn's Houston assembly lines, where they build NVIDIA Blackwell GPU server racks in an early commercial deployment of generalized physical AI.
- The startup also announced partnerships with ABB Robotics and Universal Robots to embed its software across industrial machines, aiming to supply a general-purpose 'brain' capable of controlling any robotic hardware.
- Backed by NVIDIA and SoftBank, Skild AI raised $1.4 billion earlier this year, valuing the firm at over $14 billion and leveraging NVIDIA's Isaac simulation frameworks and Jetson systems to train models.
- Deepu Talla, Nvidia Vice President of Robotics and Edge AI, told Reuters that companies are building half a trillion dollars' worth of infrastructure in the United States, requiring factories to become more autonomous.
- Skild AI CEO Deepak Pathak described robotics as at an 'inflection point similar to where LLMs were a few years ago,' believing advances in hardware and large-scale training are making general-purpose robot intelligence possible.
