Samsung and Nvidia are making significant investments in Skild AI, a California-based startup developing advanced software for autonomous robots. This move highlights the increasing interest in ‘physical AI,’ where machines not only process information but also interact with the physical world. The companies are betting on the future of consumer robotics, aiming to bring sophisticated machines from research labs into homes. Skild AI recently secured $135 million in funding, with SoftBank leading the round. Nvidia and Samsung are also major investors, with the former already involved in other robotics ventures. While Samsung views the investment strategically to stay updated on the robotics landscape, the funding will enable Skild AI to further develop its technology, potentially becoming a key player in the consumer robotics market.
