Foundation Robotics Develops 'Phantom' Humanoid Robot for Military and Civilian Use

Upon arriving at Francisco's technology-focused area, I expected to see terrifying humanoid robot soldiers engaged in war-like activities. Perhaps a glimpse of future ground combat, but instead, a black, shiny, faceless robot named 'Phantom' was busy in its own world. It was manipulating colorful blocks that children play with.

'We need data on how it interacts with its surroundings... and this is today's menu,' explained Sanget Pathak, co-founder and CEO of 'Foundation Robotics,' which was launched two years ago. This company is developing Phantom for use in both military and civilian sectors.
