Foundation Future Industries, a humanoid robotics company backed by Eric Trump, is exploring military applications for its machines, WIRED reports. The company’s CEO said it is looking at some “kinetic” possibilities.

As robots become more capable and AI control systems improve, companies will face sharper scrutiny over where their machines are deployed and what safeguards govern them.
