Summary
SkyLark Labs said it has a firm order for 25 military humanoids from India and letters of intent for about 250 more units from a Middle East customer.
At roughly $450,000 per unit and up, the Menlo Park startup said those commitments are worth millions and the Middle East deliveries are slated over the next two years.
The company builds the AI "brain" for off-the-shelf humanoids, training them within minutes for military tasks such as breaching buildings, reconnaissance and rescue missions in dangerous close-quarters settings.
CEO Amarjot Singh said the software is aimed at non-combat and mission-critical uses where robots can take risks instead of soldiers, though drones remain more useful in open warfare.
Founded in 2022, SkyLark is also demonstrating the software to the U.S. government and says it has interest and LOIs there, but no firm American orders yet.
