When could humanoid robots go to war? Sooner than you think, says firm testing them in Ukraine

U.S. robotics firm Foundation Future Industries says it has already tested its Phantom humanoid robots in Ukraine.

The company expects weaponization trials could begin as early as next year, arguing humanoids may help limit civilian harm in precise missions.

The United Nations is pushing for a treaty to restrict lethal autonomous weapons, with Antonio Guterres among those warning about the risks.

The case underscores how humanoid robots are moving from concept to battlefield testing, raising urgent questions about law, control, and civilian protection.
