Foundation Robotics Labs — trading publicly as Foundation and incorporated as Foundation Future Industries, Inc. — is a San Francisco humanoid robotics company founded in April 2024 by Sankaet Pathak, Arjun Sethi and Mike LeBlanc. It builds Phantom, a general-purpose humanoid robot aimed at industrial automation, logistics, inspection, disaster response and defense, and Cortex, the company's self-described physics foundation model built on Deep Variational Bayes Filters that pairs physics-informed prediction with vision-language reasoning to drive the robot. The company's published master plan runs from building humanoids through fleet coherence and on to building cities, and it states explicitly that it designs for military environments, unlike U.S. competitors committed to non-weaponization. Foundation has raised a reported $111M and is traded on the secondary market via Forge Global. As of this profile Foundation publishes NO public developer surface — no developer portal, documentation, API reference, OpenAPI/AsyncAPI definition, SDK, package, MCP server or agent card. Its entire public web presence is a five-page Framer marketing site (home, Phantom, Cortex, master plan, culture, careers) with no /docs, /developers, /api, /pricing, /terms or /privacy paths and no llms.txt. Its GitHub organization (github.com/foundationbot, verified first-party by @foundation.bot commit-author domains) holds internal test benches and forks of open-source robotics tooling — Drake, jetson-containers, Kalibr, PlotJuggler, Fast-DDS, an EtherCAT master, actuator dyno benches and NXP S32K MCU demos — and contains no API specification of any kind.
Foundation Robotics Labs is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Robotics, Humanoid Robots, Embodied AI, Foundation Models, and Defense.
Foundation Robotics Labs’ developer surface includes YouTube channel and 11 more developer resources.
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the
AI & Biometrics regime, so
Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite.
If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your
provider repo — the
applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for
this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero:
never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and
several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them,
because the conditional facet above carries the other
15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped
maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal
weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):
Machine-Readable Auth+10 pts — a served openid-configuration/oauth-authorization-server carrying `issuer` (served), else the securitySchemes class in the provider OpenAPIs — bound (mutualTLS, DPoP, Signature) > negotiable (oauth2 authorizationCode/clientCredentials, openIdConnect) > bearer (http bearer, apiKey)
Idempotency+9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented)
Stable Error Semantics+8 pts — OpenAPI $refs a shared error schema across 4xx/5xx responses (verified), else common[].type includes ErrorCatalog / ErrorCodes / DeclineCodes
13 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.

contains only internal test benches and forks of open-source robotics tooling with no OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, GraphQL SDL or
