Eric Trump-backed Foundation partners with AMD to develop humanoid robots

Foundation Future Industries, backed by Eric Trump, announced a partnership with AMD to co-develop autonomous humanoid robots for military and industrial use. The deal uses AMD Ryzen AI Embedded X100 Series processors for the second version of the company’s Phantom robot. While the contract value was not disclosed, the announcement highlights growing demand for AI-enabled robotics and may provide a positive narrative for AMD’s embedded AI chip line. The startup said it has already deployed Phantom MK-1 robots in manufacturing, helping build more than 24,000 cars in 2025, and plans major production expansion, including a factory in October with capacity for 5,000 robots annually and a second facility next year targeting 50,000 units per year.
