Sanctuary Phoenix

Sanctuary AI built Phoenix around one core insight: the future of useful humanoid robots depends on truly dexterous hands and genuinely intelligent behavior. Their Carbon AI system combines a large foundation model with embodied reasoning, giving Phoenix an understanding of the physical world that goes beyond pattern matching.

Phoenix's hands are engineering marvels — each features 20 degrees of freedom with pressure-sensitive skin across the entire palm and fingers. This enables manipulation of objects as delicate as eggs and as complex as folding laundry. The hands can type on keyboards, operate touchscreens, and use virtually any tool designed for human hands.

In retail environments, Phoenix handles merchandise, assists customers with natural conversation, and manages inventory. In hospitality, it serves food, cleans rooms, and provides concierge services with genuine warmth.
