Foundation Robotics: San Francisco’s Dual-Use Bet on the Future of Work and War

Oct 11, 2025

San Francisco startup Foundation Robotics is building humanoid robots for work and war.The humanoid bot startup is taking a bold dual-use bet on the future of industry and defence, designing humanoids that can run factory lines today and support military logistics tomorrow.

In this ‪@overthehorizon‬ episode, Sankaet Pathak, founder & CEO of Foundation Robotics, joins Gustav Andersson and Scott Walter to unpack the company’s radical approach - from cycloidal actuators and real-world AI training to the ethics and economics of humanoids built to work all day, every day.

We explore how Foundation plans to scale from dozens to thousands of robots, why it’s not afraid to talk about defence applications, and what its success could mean for the future of labour, warfare, and national strategy.
