Humanoid robots for battlefield: Foundation Robotics' Phantom aims to keep soldiers out of harm's way
Foundation Robotics is developing a humanoid robot called Phantom for military applications including supply pickup, reconnaissance, and potentially frontline weaponization. The startup has $24m in research contracts with the US and Ukrainian militaries, and aims to produce 40,000 units a year by end of 2027.
