29:48Now PlayingWhat if one AI brain could run every robot on the planet—a humanoid, a warehouse arm, and a dog-like inspection bot—all at once?
That's not a thought experiment. That's what Skild AI is building right now.
Deepak Pathak (CEO and Co-Founder) and Abhinav Gupta (President and Co-Founder) of Skild AI break down Skild Brain—a universal, general-purpose AI model designed to power robots of any form factor, tackling any task, from a single shared intelligence.
🔬 Topics covered:
Why robotics is fundamentally a data problem—and why there's no "internet of robot data"
Skild's three-layer data strategy: real robot teleoperation, video pretraining, and simulation
How the pretraining/post-training recipe that made LLMs work is now being applied to physical AI
The data flywheel—how every robot deployment makes the shared brain smarter for the next task
The deployment roadmap: factories and warehouses → hospitals and hotels → home consumer robots
Skild's NVIDIA partnership: co-developing Newton physics solvers and using Cosmos for data augmentation, Isaac Sim for simulation, and edge compute for on-device robot inference
How Skild tests Skild Brain before deployment—from task KPIs to generalization stress tests to safety guardrails
When will robots actually be ready for your home? The co-founders give their honest (and surprisingly humble) take
