Foundation Robotics Unveils Phantom MK-2, a 200-Pound Aluminum Humanoid Built for Factory and Battlefield Use

SF Standard's Nov 14 profile reveals Foundation's new Phantom MK-2, a 6-foot, 200-pound aluminum humanoid that is dustproof and waterproof, strong enough to 'literally pick a human up' per cofounder Sankaet Pathak. The robot is kept in a curtained room behind a red warning light, with 'sedated' force-limiting safety measures that can be dialed down; it has not yet made a public debut. Foundation is pivoting from factory marketing toward battlefield applications.
