Foundation, a San Francisco robotics company, is actively engaging with the Trump administration regarding the deployment of its robots in military operations. The firm has secured over $18 million in contracts for research and logistics for the Army, Air Force, and Navy.

While current contracts do not include weaponization, Foundation plans to send two unarmed robots to Ukraine for reconnaissance. The company aims to develop armed humanoid robots within five years, asserting that the U.S. must adopt this technology to remain competitive. Experts have raised ethical concerns about the implications of weaponizing robots in warfare.
