Skild was founded in 2023 by Deepak Pathak and Abhinav Gupta, former Carnegie Mellon University robotics professors.

The company is trying to sell a hardware-agnostic intelligence layer: software that can help different machines perceive, plan, and act without each robot requiring a separate control stack.
