Operates 24 hours.

Phantom Mk 1, our first gen robot, was the first humanoid in the world to take over 24 hours a day for five days a week. Since we took over that work cell, the three shift workers from our customer have never had to return. We are the only humanoid company in the world to completely replace three shifts so far.

Built for B2B / B2G.

Foundation is currently the only humanoid company selling to the Department of War. Robotics and autonomous systems will make up a large portion of the DoW's $1.5T budget. Humanoids are the only robot so far that can interact with the existing weapons, vehicles, and tools already owned by the military. With over $73M of government grants that helped build our current robot and over $100M in signed contracts (not LOIs) with businesses, Foundation is poised for high growth.

Tested in Ukraine.

As far as we know, we are the only company in the world to test our humanoids in combat. We believe continued testing against a thinking adversary is the only way to design robots ready for war. As we send more robots into combat zones around the world, we continue to iterate on our robot to ensure that we build a tool that truly takes American sons and daughters off the battlefield.
