What does it take to build a humanoid robot for heavy industrial work?
In this interview, KV Thanjavur Bhaaskar, Director of Robotics at AMD, speaks with Sankaet Pathak, CEO of @Foundation_Robo, about building robots that can operate reliably in demanding environments and learn in the field.
Watch to learn how the broad AMD portfolio can support Foundation’s vision for its next generation of robots: bit.ly/4hVfmmm

I can think of one exciting American company that's primed to be a key player in this arena.
@foundation_robo deployed their Phantom bots to Ukraine for field pilot. The first known deployment of humanoids in such a theatre.
@sankaet and his team, including @aesposito0, have been doing some really cutting-edge work in this area, and I'm excited to see where this goes. 🦾🚀
We’re launching the Army of Robots.
In 2022, we launched the Army of Drones. Today, drones account for over 95% of battlefield strikes, and Ukraine has more than 700 UAV manufacturers.
Now we need the next technological breakthrough: the robotization of warfare.
The goal is simple — save lives. Robots should take on the most dangerous missions: evacuating the wounded, delivering ammunition, mining and demining, reconnaissance, defending positions and engaging targets.
The Army of Robots is not one company. It’s an ecosystem. We will invest in defense tech companies, launch our own technology projects, test them with the military and scale what works on the battlefield.
We’re now looking for defense tech companies and engineers working on robotic technologies — as well as a CTO / Tech Lead for the Army of Robots.

@GoingBallistic5, @anatomyumea, @mehrdad_Frimani and I recently caught up with Sankaet to talk about Ukraine, the future of humanoids and robots of other form factors in combat theatres, US-China Big-Power rivalry in robotics, and the future of robots in warfare.
This is a fascinating conversation:

"That is an unbound risk to humanity that does pose significant danger!"
Sankaet Pathak says Artificial Intelligence progress should not be paused, despite OpenAI's AI models going rogue to hack other companies.

We're proud to make robots - in America.
Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸🫡

our convo with @sankaet building humanoid robots to one day build a city on mars is live now.
- why they focus on heavy industrial tasks (and how to build actuators)
- their 2030 master plan
- what the next gen of founders should work on today

"If we actually want to increase our overall manufacturing output, and in case of the US, reindustrialize America, we need automation."

🚨⚡BREAKING NEWS: Foundation Robotics ran a pilot in Ukraine
🧵1/2
@sankaet says the first battlefield use case for @foundation_robo Phantom bot is simple, immediate & high impact:
📌Supply pickup
📌Battlefield logistics
📌Sending bots into risky tasks instead of soldiers
Ever wondered whats inside a humanoid head and how its different to biological intelligence? @foundation_robo team did a deep dive. Full video in 🧵
Science education has been a passion of mine for a while. So we'll post more deep dives on various aspects of our technology. We’ve done hands and now head youtu.be/nfB8ySnDezg?si=Skj7…
Both Phantom and I went on @MorningsMaria to discuss @foundation_robo and our collaboration with DoW and Ukraine and why I think deploying humanoids in the military is the best way to ensure lasting peace in our lifetime

this was my first time attending a video shoot with @corememory and it was just incredible to watch the team put it together
a must see on how foundation builds its humanoids

This is . . . how to build a humanoid.
We went to @foundation_robo and hung with @sankaet and shot the process of making a humanoid in stunning detail. Full episode right here - youtube.com/watch?v=fD6uUstj…
