Skild AI Taps NVIDIA Physical AI to Teach Robots New Tasks From a Single Video > Skild AI Taps NVIDIA Physical AI to Teach Robots New Tasks From a Single Video. **Proof:** NVIDIA Newsroom reports: Manufacturing floors, warehouses and production lines rarely stay fixed - tasks change, layouts shift and new products arrive, and most robots can't keep up without significant reprogramming. Skild AI's new S1 robot foundation model helps address this, designe. **Impact:** Skild uses NVIDIA infrastructure for training, simulation and deployment. This identifies uses for NVIDIA's computing products; the announcement does not quantify NVIDIA revenue attributable to S1. **Watch next:** NVIDIA says jointly developed Newton simulation solvers will soon be available to developers. Their release and later deployment disclosures are concrete follow-up points; announced collaboration alone does not establish additional revenue. **Primary source:** https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/skild-ai-s1-physical-ai/ ### 2.
