Foundation Future Industries’ flagship platform, Phantom MK1, represents a sharp departure from the carefully choreographed robot demonstrations that dominate tech headlines. The Jobs No One Can—Or Should—FillThe United States is facing a convergence of crises that Foundation believes humanoids are uniquely positioned to address.
