General-purpose robot brain enables data flywheel from factories to homes
A single 'omni-brain' deployed across form factors (arms, humanoids, quadrupeds) creates a compounding data flywheel: each vertical's corner cases become central cases for others, enabling…

Three-data-source strategy (real, video, sim) solves robotics data scarcity
Robotics lacks an 'internet of robot data'; Skild's solution combines teleoperation data (rich but unscalable), internet video (diverse but action-poor), and simulation (scalable/rich but s…

Pretrain on diverse low-quality data, post-train on scarce high-quality data — the LLM recipe applied to robotics
Video and simulation provide massive-scale pretraining for robustness to corner cases; small amounts of real-world deployment data provide precision via post-training — directly analogous t…

Edge compute becomes critical bottleneck for physical AI deployment
Unlike LLMs that run on server GPUs, robots require on-device inference for real-time reaction (e.g., falling recovery), making low-latency edge compute a new infrastructure layer — Nvidia'…
