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.
