Sanctuary AI

Focused on creating the world’s first human-like intelligence in general-purpose robots, featuring industry-leading dexterous hands.

Vancouver, Canada

Founded: 2018

Sanctuary AI approaches robotics fundamentally as an artificial general intelligence (AGI) company. Their ultimate goal is not just to build a walking machine, but to create a physical housing for generalized human-like intelligence.

Unmatched Dexterity

While many competitors focus on bipedal walking, Sanctuary AI has heavily prioritized the upper body, specifically the hands. Their robot, Phoenix, boasts some of the most advanced, fast, and highly dexterous robotic hands in the industry, capable of manipulating intricate human tools seamlessly.

Carbon AI Architecture

Phoenix is powered by the Carbon AI control architecture, which blends advanced telepresence data collection with deep reinforcement learning, allowing the robot to scale its autonomous capabilities rapidly by essentially "shadowing" human pilots in real time.
