Eric Trump-Backed Startup Gets AMD Chips for Humanoid Robots, Builds Military Versions
Foundation Future Industries, a startup backed by Eric Trump, will use AMD's Ryzen AI Embedded X100 Series processors to power its Phantom MK-2 humanoid robots for factory and military use. The company plans to open a factory in October capable of producing 5,000 robots annually, with a second facility targeting 50,000 units per year. Industrial customers will lease robots for about $100,000 annually, while defense variants will cost $300,000 for government buyers. The military push revives conflict-of-interest concerns due to Eric Trump's role as chief strategy adviser and his family's ties to the Trump administration. AMD's chips enable local processing for perception, reasoning, and control tasks, extending AMD's reach into edge computing and humanoid robotics.
