San Francisco-based Foundation delivered two Phantom MK-1 humanoid soldier robots to Ukraine in February for frontline reconnaissance support. The robots are designed for defense applications and can operate various small arms from pistols to M-16 rifles, with the goal of performing combat functions in place of human soldiers. Foundation already holds $24 million in research contracts with the US military and plans to test the robots in Marine Corps exercises for tasks like placing explosives on doors. This represents a significant step toward deploying autonomous humanoid systems in active combat zones.
