In the increasingly crowded field of humanoid robotics, one thing that sets Foundation and its Phantom robot apart is the company’s embrace of the defense industry. That includes perhaps someday weaponizing this technology.
With many questions to ask, I visited the Foundation in San Francisco for a hands-on demonstration and the opportunity to teleoperate the robot. I also interviewed the company’s founder, Sankaet Pathak, who envisions this robot going everywhere, from the battlefield to Mars – one step at a time.
To witness this potential future robot warrior punch, walk, fall and do the robot (courtesy of my teleoperation), check out the video in this article.
