Phoenix by Sanctuary AI

Phoenix is a humanoid robot developed by Sanctuary AI, designed to perform a wide range of human tasks. Unlike traditional industrial robots built for single-use applications, Phoenix is a general-purpose system that adapts to different environments and challenges. It integrates advanced AI and robotics to enhance dexterity, perception, and autonomy.

At the core of Phoenix’s intelligence is the Carbon™ AI control system, which mimics human cognitive functions like memory, vision, and touch. This allows the robot to interact with its surroundings naturally and efficiently. A key feature is its advanced hands, with 21 degrees of freedom (DoF) and tactile sensors that provide real-time feedback. These sensors help Phoenix grip objects securely, detect slippage, and handle delicate tasks with precision.

Sanctuary AI develops all aspects in-house, from motor design to AI-driven task execution. The company has focused heavily on touch sensitivity, enabling Phoenix to adjust its grip strength and perform fine manipulations, even without clear visual input. This makes it highly useful in fields like logistics, manufacturing, and laboratory work, where precision is essential.

As general-purpose robotics continues to evolve, Sanctuary AI envisions the robot working alongside humans, addressing labor shortages, and improving workplace safety. With ongoing advancements in sensory feedback and machine learning, Phoenix is designed to continuously learn, adapt, and take on new challenges across various industries.
