Nvidia and Samsung are joining a major Series B funding round for Skild AI, a robotics software start-up, with investments of$25 million and$10 million, respectively.

According toBloomberg, the round, led by SoftBank with a$100 million commitment, is expected to value the company at approximately$4.5 billion.

Skild AI develops foundation models and software designed for various robotic systems, from consumer devices to industrial machines. The company previously raised$300 million in Series A funding in 2023, when it was valued at$1.5 billion.

Samsung's latest investment reinforces its growing focus on robotics. Earlier this year, it became the largest shareholder in South Korea-based Rainbow Robotics, which is known for its collaborative robots. The company also operates a Future Robotics Office to steer strategic innovation.

For Nvidia, the investment aligns with broader efforts in AI and automation. In March, the chipmaker partnered with General Motors to co-develop AI systems that train next-generation manufacturing models for use in vehicles, factories, and robotics.
