About Phantom MK1

Phantom is a 1.8 m, 80 kg humanoid with 29 degrees of freedom and a stated walking speed of 1.7 m/s. Foundation lists payload capacity up to 40 kg and uses proprietary cycloidal actuators delivering peak torque of 160 Nm with low back-driving resistance. Cameras and onboard sensing provide the primary perception inputs for operation in human-scale environments.

Cortex software converts task instructions and perception into whole-body motion, while teleoperation and collected demonstrations support early skill development. Foundation describes Phantom as its first production humanoid and is preparing pilot deployments across industrial and defence work. The platform is in early production and customer-validation activity.
