About Sanctuary AI Phoenix

Sanctuary AI Phoenix overview

Phoenix is Sanctuary AI’s general-purpose humanoid for work. Sanctuary’s differentiation centers heavily on hand dexterity, touch sensing and the Carbon AI control system.

What it is designed to do

Sanctuary says its technology has demonstrated hundreds of work tasks across more than a dozen industries. The robot is aimed at varied manipulation-heavy jobs rather than a single fixed automation workflow.

Hardware and movement

Published launch specifications list 5 ft 7 in height, 155 lb weight, a 55 lb maximum payload and maximum speed of 3 mph. Its hands provide 20 degrees of freedom with proprietary haptic technology.

AI, autonomy and control

Phoenix is paired with Sanctuary’s Carbon AI platform. Teleoperation/piloting has also been part of Sanctuary’s approach to collecting task experience and handling work.

Buying status

Phoenix is not presented as a normal retail consumer product with public MSRP. Commercial access is enterprise-led.

Who should consider it?

Enterprises researching general-purpose manipulation and dexterous humanoid work.
