Robot Brief

Sanctuary AI’s Phoenix is a groundbreaking, industrial-grade humanoid robot designed to operate in human-centric environments with human-like intelligence and dexterity. Powered by Sanctuary’s proprietary Carbon AI control system, Phoenix integrates advanced tactile sensors, hydraulic drive systems, and sophisticated manipulators that mimic human hand movements. It is capable of performing a wide range of complex tasks—from delicate operations like threading a needle to heavy lifting—across industries including manufacturing, retail, healthcare, and logistics. The robot features full-body mobility, human-like hands with fine dexterity, and a motorized wheeled base for smooth navigation. Phoenix continuously learns and adapts through deep learning, reinforcement learning, and symbolic reasoning, enabling it to improve performance over time. Its cognitive architecture supports natural language understanding, task planning, and decision-making, allowing it to collaborate safely and effectively with human workers. With a height of 1.7 meters, weight of 70 kg, and a maximum payload of 25 kg, Phoenix represents a significant leap toward general-purpose humanoid robots that can address labor shortages by performing diverse work tasks autonomously or under human supervision.

Use Cases

Phoenix performs a broad range of labor-intensive tasks with human-like dexterity and intelligence. It can pick, pack, assemble, inspect, clean, and assist with household chores, among other activities. The robot understands natural language commands, learns new tasks rapidly, and adapts to changing environments. It can be teleoperated, operate autonomously, or function with pilot-assist, making it versatile for various industrial and service applications.

Industries

  • Manufacturing: Automates complex assembly, inspection, and material handling tasks.
  • Retail: Supports stocking, packing, and customer service operations.
  • Healthcare: Assists with patient care and facility maintenance.
  • Logistics: Performs picking, packing, and sorting in warehouses.
  • Hospitality: Acts as concierge and service assistant.
