Skild AI uses NVIDIA physical AI to teach robots new tasks from a single video

Sep 10, 2026 · Issue 6 · 9 sources, 10 articles

Skild AI is building on NVIDIA's physical AI platform to teach its robots new tasks from a single video (the S1 robot foundation model); the model adapts to objects that have moved and can recover from mistakes. According to The Next Web, ten months after its first commercial deployment the company reached a $100 million annual recurring revenue run rate.

Who is affected and how

plant manager
Robots that learn from video could shorten the training time for new tasks, so a pilot on a repetitive operation is worth planning.
engineer
The S1 model's error tolerance and handling of displaced objects offer a new approach to robot programming tailored to real manufacturing conditions.
skilled worker
Demonstrating a task by video could take over part of traditional robot programming, raising the value of the trainer role.
