Robotics developer Skild AI launched S1 last week, designed to learn previously unseen, long-horizon tasks from one video demonstration.

NVIDIA’s September 10 article describes S1 as Skild AI’s new robot foundation model and says it launched the previous week. The stated design goal is to learn previously unseen, long-horizon tasks from a single video demonstration.
The article places the model in the context of manufacturing floors, warehouses, and production lines where tasks, layouts, and products change. It describes substantial reprogramming as a limitation for most robots in those settings and presents S1 as addressing that problem.
The article’s title connects S1 to NVIDIA Physical AI, but the supplied excerpt ends before identifying the specific technologies used. Single-video learning is a stated model capability, with no task-success rates, evaluation protocol, hardware configuration, or commercial deployment counts provided in the excerpt.
