Skild AI unveils the Skild Brain, a general-purpose robot foundation model

Skild AI/Skild Brain

Skild AI described the Skild Brain, a robot foundation model to control many body types (quadrupeds, humanoids, arms, mobile manipulators). A slow high-level policy feeds a fast low-level one that outputs joint commands; trained largely on simulation and human video to circumvent robot-data shortage.

• Two-level control hierarchy: slow high-level policy (task intent) + fast low-level policy (joint commands).
• Trained on simulation + human video, not teleoperation alone; escapes expensive robot data collection bottleneck.
• Body-agnostic: same model controls different morphologies without retraining; enables flexible deployment.
• Foundation-model approach: one brain, many platforms; unlocks scaling benefits of large-scale pretraining.
