軟銀與匹茲堡機器人初創公司Skild AI洽談領投5億美元融資

根據媒體報導,日本投資公司軟銀集團正在尋求加強對卡內基梅隆大學機器人衍生公司Skild AI的支持,計劃領投一輪5億美元的融資。該公司由CMU教授Deepak Pathak和Abhinav Gupta創立,去年七月已經從Jeff Bezos及其他投資者那裡籌集了3億美元。據《金融時報》等媒體報導,與新一輪融資相關的談判正在進行中。

如果成功,這筆資金將使Skild的估值達到40億美元,成為匹茲堡最有價值的初創公司之一。Skild和軟銀均未對媒體的詢問作出回應。

Skild正在開發一種“通用大腦”,可用於各類機器人,包括能夠雙足行走的人形機器人和四足的狗型機器人。在Nvidia及其他科技巨頭的推動下,對人工智能和機器人的興趣正持續上升。谷歌CEO Sundar Pichai在去年九月的匹茲堡訪問中親自會見了Skild團隊。

Skild AI的未來潛力

Pathak在去年宣布時表示:“我們相信Skild AI代表著機器人技術的一次飛躍,具有改變整個實體經濟的潛力。”他們的目標是幫助機器人掌握物理世界,避免在移動過程中絆倒障礙物或對人類造成風險。Skild AI先前表示,其系統可以應用於複雜的家庭任務和工業工作,同時降低製造機器人的成本。

目前,Skild的估值為15億美元,團隊成員包括來自Meta、Tesla、Nvidia、Amazon和Google的專家,以及CMU的學生。大學也與亞馬遜、Lightspeed Venture Partners、Sequoia Capital等共同投資了這家初創公司。

在當前科技快速發展的大背景下,Skild AI的進一步融資顯示出市場對於先進機器人技術的信心。這不僅是對Skild的支持,也反映出整個匹茲堡地區在科技創新方面的潛力和轉型。隨著資金的注入,Skild AI可能會加速其產品的研發,進一步提升其在全球市場的競爭力。

這一發展不僅對Skild AI自身意義重大,也可能對整個匹茲堡科技生態系統產生深遠影響,促進當地經濟的多元化和創新能力。未來的機器人技術將改變我們的生活方式,這樣的融資行為無疑是朝著更智能化的未來邁進了一步。

} A whimsical, artistic scene set in a classic Hong Kong cha chaan teng (茶餐廳): A charming cat sits comfortably at a small table, elegantly sipping a traditional Hong Kong-style milk tea from a delicate glass. The cat's fur is soft and expressive, and its posture is relaxed yet attentive, suggesting it is a regular at the tea shop. The restaurant interior is bustling yet cozy, adorned with retro posters, old ceiling fans, patterned floor tiles, and Formica tables reflecting the local culture. Sunlight streams through the window, casting warm highlights on the cat and creating a vivid play of shadows. Details include steaming milk tea cups, egg tarts and pineapple buns on the table, and waiters in classic uniforms moving in the background. The overall color palette is rich and atmospheric, blending nostalgia with the lively charm of Hong Kong. 一隻在香港茶餐廳喝奶茶的貓
