Skild AI founder Deepak Pathak reports the company crossed $100 million in ARR just ten months after its first commercial deployment, now serving 60+ paying customers across goods movement, delivery, site inspection, security, food prep, and warehouse/factory/data center operations. Mobility accounts for 10% of revenue, Fetch solutions 4%.
His core thesis: deployment is the hidden pillar of robotics research.
- With NVIDIA and Foxconn, Skild Brain is being deployed on dual-arm manipulators for high-precision assembly of NVIDIA Blackwell systems — work that changes every product cycle and previously required reprogramming every robot on the line.
- Real production deployments with partners like Sumitomo Wiring Systems feed the data-and-feedback loop that Pathak argues is key to scaling robotics research, rather than simulation-only approaches.
