About Foundation Robotics
Phantom combines humanoid manipulation with a body designed for industrial production work. Foundation develops the actuators, mechanical systems, sensing and tactile hardware alongside Cortex, the AI layer responsible for perception, learning and autonomous behaviour.
The company began customer pilots with a wheeled Phantom before moving to legged versions and production-cell work. Its internal timeline records robots operating five-day continuous factory schedules by late 2025, with the Mk2 platform and larger-scale deployment forming the next manufacturing phase.
