Foundation Robotics Labs
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.
Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.
API Evangelist profiles Foundation Robotics Labs the way a machine reads it — 1 machine-readable artifact, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Foundation Robotics Labs scores 5.7/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Why this profile is thin
Foundation's entire public presence is a five-page Framer marketing site whose own sitemap.xml lists only /, /cortex, /careers, /master-plan and /culture — /docs, /developers, /api and /llms.txt all 404, api.foundation.bot and docs.foundation.bot are NXDOMAIN, and the first-party GitHub org github.com/foundationbot (verified by @foundation.bot commit-author emails) contains only internal test benches and forks of open-source robotics tooling with no OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, GraphQL SDL or .proto.
This is an honest zero, not a gap in our research. Foundation Robotics Labs does not appear to expose an API, so there is nothing here for us to index and nothing for them to fix.

Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Foundation Robotics Labs
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Foundation Robotics Labs. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
Security Posture 1
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

This is an independent, third-party profile of Foundation Robotics Labs, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.
The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.
Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
